Research Focus
Dr. Zongqi Xia's research lab focuses on improving treatment strategies for multiple sclerosis by utilizing electronic health records (EHR). They aim to tailor treatments to individual patients based on real-world data and computational methods. This innovative approach will help identify the most effective therapies and optimize treatment sequences for better patient outcomes.
