Overview
Dr. Jing Wu is associate professor in the department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science & Technology (HUST). She graduated with a major in Maternal and Child Health Care in 2002 and received her PhD in 2007 from Tongji Medical College. Dr. Wu’s research is mainly focused on genetic biomarkers and their biological functions in childhood neurodevelopmental disorders (especially attention deficit hyperactivity disorder), and the application of biostatistics in health insurance. As PI she has chaired more than 10 research projects, and published over 30 original papers (20 of them published in SCI-collected journals). As a deputy editor, she has published a textbook and a popular science book. Dr. Wu has served as a member of China Health Insurance Research Association and a member of Professional Committee for Health Statistics, Wuhan Institute of Preventive Medicine. In 2011 Dr. Wu won the second prize for excellent quality of teaching and the second prize for teaching competition for young teachers in HUST, and she was the recipient of the Outstanding Research Paper Award of China Health Insurance Research Association in 2007, 2009 and 2014 respectively.
