Wu is in a team from the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences (UAMS), the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and the Arkansas Children’s Research Institute (ACRI) that received a $310,000 grant from the National Institutes of Health (NIH), in the form of a supplemental award to the Arkansas IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence (INBRE) program directed by Lawrence E. Cornett (Ph.D., a distinguished professor in the UAMS College of Medicine Department of Physiology and Cell Biology). The team consists of Colin Kay (Ph.D., a professor of pediatrics at UAMS), Xintao Wu (Ph.D., a professor of EECS at UofA), and Kyle Quinn (Ph.D., a professor of biomedical engineering at UofA and director of the AIMRC), who are collaboratively developing an infrastructure to support research studies of mother and child health at the Arkansas Children’s Nutrition Center and clinical research programs within Arkansas Children’s Hospital. Wu and SAIL members (Vinay and Alycia) take efforts to build the software applications, data infrastructure and dashboards in collaboration with Kay and researchers at ACRI.
