Lulu Lu

Lulu Lu is a Researcher in the Department of Mathematics at Michigan State University. Her research focuses on neurovascular interactions, particularly exploring the bidirectional relationships between neurological conditions and cardiovascular health. Key areas include vascular dementia pathophysiology, cardiotoxicity mechanisms in chemotherapy, and the role of microbiota in cardiac dysfunction. Utilizing mouse models, her work examines molecular pathways such as adenylyl cyclase regulation, endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS) deficiency, and sympathetic nervous system activity.

Recent studies investigate how chronic cerebral hypoperfusion exacerbates cardiac and renal dysfunction, as well as the therapeutic potential of β-blockers like metoprolol in hemorrhagic stroke scenarios. Her publications highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining neuroscience, cardiology, and pharmacology to address comorbid conditions.
