Donghua Hu

Donghua Hu, PhD is a Lecturer in the Department of Radiation Oncology at the Washington University School of Medicine. His research focuses on mitochondrial and peroxisome dynamics in cancer biology, particularly their role in response to radiation therapy and potential as novel therapeutic targets.

• Education: BS in Chinese Pharmacy (Anhui University of Chinese Medicine, 2011)
• MS in Pharmacology (Anhui Medical University, 2014)
