Jingshan Wu

Dr. Jingshan Wu is a Clinical Lecturer at the University of Western Australia (UWA), affiliated with the UWA Medical School and the Department of General Practice. His research focuses on neurology, multiple sclerosis (MS), genetic disorders, and clinical genetics. Key areas include genetic polymorphisms influencing disease risk, neuroimaging applications in neurodegenerative disorders, and the molecular mechanisms underlying neurological conditions like hereditary spastic paraplegia and metabolic deficiencies. His work integrates clinical, genetic, and immunological approaches to understand complex neurological diseases.

His research outputs span over 32 peer-reviewed publications, emphasizing MS epidemiology, HLA allele associations, and genetic factors in neurological disorders. Notable studies include investigations into non-HLA gene polymorphisms in MS cohorts, hypothalamic lesions in MS, and fluorodeoxyglucose-PET imaging in dementia diagnosis. Collaborations involve interdisciplinary teams exploring immunogenetic and neuroimaging markers of disease progression.

Dr. Wu’s contributions include advancing understanding of MS pathogenesis through genetic studies and identifying novel biomarkers. His work bridges clinical practice and research, addressing gaps in diagnosis and treatment strategies for neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders.
