Yu Hou

Yu Hou holds a Research Fellow position at the Department of Organismal Biology (Physiology and Environmental Toxicology) at Uppsala University. Contact details include an email address (yu.hou@ebc.uu.se) and a physical address at the Evolutionary Biology Centre in Uppsala. His research focuses on environmental toxicology, animal genetics, molecular biology, and domestication studies, with a strong emphasis on mitochondrial DNA analysis and genetic markers in domesticated species like horses and chickens. Recent work also touches on interdisciplinary topics such as audience participation in reality TV and sousveillance, though the latter may pertain to a different academic persona with the same name. No awards or grants are explicitly mentioned.

Research interests span genetics, physiology, and molecular mechanisms in animals, particularly under varying environmental conditions (e.g., hypoxia in Tibetan chickens). Collaborative projects likely involve genomic analysis and comparative studies across species. No formal student advisement records are provided in the available texts.
