Lin Zhu is a research fellow and biostatistician at the Sydney School of Public Health. His research interests are in evaluating the long-term effects of interventions, particularly for the primary prevention of cardiovascular disease. He is also interested in improving the risk prediction tools that are central to effective decision-making. He is currently working on a project aimming to identify the health inequities among various ethnic groups in Australia.
