Research Focus
Dr. Ching-Long Lin's lab focuses on understanding how COVID-19 affects lung health over time. They are developing advanced deep learning models to analyze lung imaging data from chest X-rays and CT scans to identify different subtypes of lung progression in COVID-19 survivors. By linking these imaging results with clinical and biological markers, the lab aims to improve the treatment and management of long-term lung issues for patients who have recovered from COVID-19.
