معرفی
Dr. Xue Bao is a Researcher and Teacher at the Department of Biology, Faculty of Science, Utrecht University, specializing in Genome Biology and Epigenetics. She is based at the Hugo R. Kruyt Building in Utrecht and holds a PhD from Utrecht University obtained in 2018.
Research Interests: Her research spans molecular biology, biochemistry, and cell biology, with a strong focus on lipid metabolism, membrane biology, and epigenetics. Early work centered on lipid acyl chain remodeling and phosphatidylcholine deficiency in yeast, while recent publications extend into chromatin regulation and neuronal differentiation. Her expertise bridges yeast genetics and mammalian epigenetic mechanisms.
Publication Trends: Her work over the past decade shows a clear trajectory from fundamental yeast lipid biology to complex epigenetic regulation in higher systems. She frequently publishes in high-impact journals such as Nature Genetics, EMBO Journal, and iScience, often collaborating with leading groups in epigenetics. Her research combines biochemical, genetic, and molecular approaches to understand membrane and chromatin dynamics.
