Carrie K. Chu is a Senior Professor at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center. Her research focuses on reconstructive microsurgery, specifically optimizing outcomes in breast reconstruction, including the impact of premastectomy and postmastectomy radiation therapy, and resource utilization in direct-to-implant procedures. She has published extensively in leading journals such as JAMA Network Open and the Journal of the American College of Surgeons. Her recent work also examines telemedicine adoption among financially distressed cancer patients and the role of PhD degrees in academic plastic surgery.
