معرفی
Hui Yu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Animal Sciences at The Ohio State University, with a 65% research and 35% teaching appointment. She holds a Ph.D. from Purdue University and postdoctoral training from the University of Michigan, focusing on genetic mechanisms in animal and human metabolic systems. Her research integrates computational methods with biochemical, molecular, and genetic approaches to study energy homeostasis, neuronal circuits in metabolic regulation, and genetic foundations of metabolic disorders like Prader-Willi Syndrome. She also investigates Wooden-Breast syndrome in broiler chickens.
- Education:
- Ph.D., Animal Sciences, Purdue University
- M.S., Animal Science, Northwest Agriculture & Forestry University (China)
- B.S., Animal Science, Northeast Agriculture University (China)
Research Interests: Dr. Yu’s work spans animal genetics, neuroscience, and metabolic biology. She uses spatial- and single-cell omics technologies to identify molecular targets in the central nervous system responding to hunger/satiety signals. Her studies explore how genetic regulations influence energy balance and eating behaviors, with translational implications for both human diseases and agricultural animal health.
Awards: None explicitly listed.
