Biography
Dr. Lin Zhu is a decision scientist who specializes in mathematical and computational modeling to assess the long-term population-level health and economic impacts of public health interventions. With an interdisciplinary background in medicine, epidemiology, and policy analysis, she transforms complex data into strategic insights to improve health outcomes and optimize resource allocation. Prior to joining UM as an Assistant Professor, she served as a Senior Research Engineer in the Department of Health Policy at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
Driven by a strong commitment to advancing hepatitis C elimination among people who inject drugs in the direct-acting antiviral era, Lin received a K99/R00 award from the National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) to develop a novel agent-based network model and comparatively evaluate the health benefits and cost-effectiveness of alternative testing and treatment strategies. She is the sub-award PI on an Economic Modeling Agreement, where she works closely with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and applies her research to inform national hep C elimination efforts. She is also a co-I on the NIDA-funded HEAL Data2Action Modeling and Economic Resource Center, contributing to the metamodeling of three distinct substance abuse disorder models to improve their predictive power. Beyond her primary research on hep C, she has contributed to a broad portfolio of infectious disease research, including malaria, COVID-19, HIV, and sexually transmitted infections. -
