معرفی
Dr. Fenghua Yuan is a Research Assistant Professor at the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Miami, focusing on DNA repair mechanisms and cancer development. Her research has received funding from NIH, DOD, and the State of Florida.
- Educational background: PhD in Molecular Plant Pathology (1995, Chinese Academy of Agricultural Sciences), MS in Biochemistry (1992, China Agricultural University), BS in Plant Pathology (1989, Hunan Agricultural University)
- Post-doctoral training at the University of Kentucky (2001)
Her research explores the role of Fanconi anemia proteins in DNA repair, particularly in interstrand cross-link repair and mismatch repair, with implications for cancer biology and genomic stability. Recent publications highlight FANCA's oncogenic properties, its role in cell cycle regulation, and therapeutic targeting of DNA repair pathways.
Dr. Yuan contributes to education by teaching bench-top biochemistry and molecular biology techniques to undergraduate and graduate students. Her work involves collaborations with research teams investigating DNA repair and cancer intervention strategies.
