Tu Hu

Tu Hu serves as a Guest Researcher within the Department of Immunology and Microbiology at the University of Copenhagen, contributing to cutting-edge research in immunological and microbiological domains with a focus on dermatological applications and biomarker discovery. The position is based at Blegdamsvej 3B in Copenhagen, Denmark, under the university's health sciences division.

Research interests prominently feature Immunology, Microbiology, and Dermatology, with specialized expertise in Transcriptomics and Metabolomics methodologies. Current work investigates molecular mechanisms of skin conditions like Atopic Dermatitis through advanced transcriptome profiling techniques, while simultaneously developing urinary biomarkers for dietary compounds such as coffee. This dual focus bridges clinical immunology with nutritional science through high-resolution molecular analysis.

Recent publications reveal a clear trajectory toward non-invasive diagnostic approaches, utilizing minipunch biopsies, tape stripping, and BRB-seq for skin transcriptome mapping alongside untargeted metabolomics for biomarker validation. The research integrates multi-omics strategies to address both inflammatory skin disorders and nutritional epidemiology, demonstrating methodological innovation in sample collection and analytical chemistry. Key collaborations span dermatology, nutrition science, and analytical chemistry departments across European institutions.
