Ling Zhu Brings Versatile Expertise to the Data Team in Sweden
Medaffcon’s new data team member, Ling Zhu, works in Medaffcon’s Stockholm office.
Medaffcon’s newest data team member, Ling Zhu, moves smoothly between Sweden and China. She has both studied and worked in both countries, and her family is also based in both.
Most recently, Ling worked as a Senior Quality Assurance Analyst at Taikang Healthcare Investment Holdings in China. There, she led data analysis projects aimed at optimizing care plans. Taikang had 16,682 elderly residents across 23 long-term care facilities.
“I prepared datasets for subjective well-being surveys and carried out a longitudinal study on the development of Activities of Daily Living (ADL), which improved the quality of care for the elderly,” Ling explains.
Degrees from Both China and Sweden
Ling has also studied in both China and Sweden. She earned a bachelor’s degree in biology from Central South University in China and went on to complete a master’s degree in biomedicine at the Karolinska Institutet.
She returned to Sweden thanks to the opportunity to join Medaffcon.
“My interests lie at the intersection of technology and the life sciences. I’m truly excited to be working at Medaffcon, especially with Real World Data,” says Ling.
Earlier in her career, Ling worked as a laboratory intern for three years. She is skilled in data analysis using the R programming language, as well as deep learning with the PyTorch framework. She also has marketing experience in the pharmaceutical industry and consulting experience in healthcare.
In her free time, she enjoys powerlifting — meaning much of her spare time is spent at the gym.
