Research Focus
Dr. Jingchuan Guo's lab focuses on improving diabetes care by ensuring equitable access to the latest glucose-lowering medications for socially disadvantaged patients. With a strong emphasis on data analysis and machine learning, the lab aims to identify patient groups who would benefit most from these treatments and develop strategies to enhance their healthcare outcomes. By examining the intersection of health equity and economic evaluation, the lab works to bridge the gap in diabetes care for those at higher risk of complications.
