Presented by: Julie Tsu-Yu Wu, MD, PhD, Medical oncologist, VA Palo Alto Healthcare System
Talk Title: “Implementing Precision Oncology for Lung Cancer Survivors”

Bio: Julie Wu is a staff medical oncologist at the VA Palo Alto Healthcare System and with the VA National Oncology Program. With primary mentor Shipra Arya and co-mentors Leah Backhus and Summer Han, she works on improving lung cancer outcomes through the rapidly growing fields of implementation science and data science. Specific projects include targeting high risk Veterans for lung cancer screening, guiding lung cancer treatment by leveraging nation-wide clinical tumor sequencing, and informing clinical trial policy. Her work with Shipra Arya is funded through a Merit Supplement to the PAUSE trial, a multi-center clinical trial to improve outcomes in surgery patients through multidisciplinary intervention.

Each week, S-SPIRE hosts a Work-In-Progress session (WIP) for faculty members and trainees to present their research and receive feedback on projects in every phase of development—from drafting specific aims pages, to parsing grant review committee comments, to abstracts/papers/methods in preparation.
