Xiao Hu, Ann Henshaw Gardiner Distinguished Professor of Nursing, was profiled by Will Alexander for a Faculty Spotlight on the Duke School of Medicine's Department of Neurology News website. 

Excerpt

The work of Xiao Hu, PhD, almost makes the word “multidisciplinary” seem like an understatement. In addition to his primary home in the School of Nursing, the research scientist has appointments in the Departments of Neurology, Biomedical Engineering, Biostatistics and Bioinformatics, Surgery, and Electrical and Computer Engineering. For this week’s “Spotlight” interview, Hu talks to us about his work to use data science and engineering to improve the way we diagnose and treat patients with neurological conditions. He also discusses the joys of a career where every day is an opportunity for new learning, and his hopes for travel, hiking, and reuniting with colleagues once the pandemic is over.
