Shubiao Wu

Professor Shubiao Wu is an academic at the University of New England (UNE) within the School of Environmental and Rural Science. His interdisciplinary expertise spans poultry health and nutrition, molecular biology, plant genetics, and nutrigenomics. He teaches courses in biochemistry and genetics and has over AU$8 million in research grants since 2015.

• Education:
  • PhD in Molecular Mapping and Reproduction of Olives, University of Adelaide (2002)
  • MSc in Plant Reproductive Biology, Inner Mongolia University
  • BSc in Botany, Lanzhou University

His research focuses on gut microflora and intestinal health in poultry, particularly necrotic enteritis and nutrigenomics. He also investigates plant genetics (e.g., maize genomics) and energy systems in feed formulation. A key trend in his 2023–2025 publications includes evaluating feed additives (probiotics, organic acids, enzymes) to mitigate necrotic enteritis, transcriptomic responses to nutritional interventions, and microbiome dynamics in poultry.

Professor Wu serves as Associate Editor of Animal Nutrition and Academic Editor of PLOS ONE, with extensive peer-review contributions to journals like Nucleic Acids Research and Microbial Ecology. He has supervised over 30 PhD/MSc students and collaborated with institutions including CSIRO, RMIT, and Henan Agricultural University.

His lab team includes researchers such as Dr. Sarbast Qassim (molecular biology), Dr. Kosar Gharib (gut health), and Dr. Sosthene Musigwa (net energy systems). Current projects involve antibiotic alternatives, energy utilization optimization, and microbiome-modulating feed additives, funded by entities like Adisseo France and Kemin Animal Nutrition.
