Associate Professor Yiping Wang is affiliated with the Westmead Clinical School and the Westmead Institute for Medical Research at the University of Sydney. Their research focuses on immunological mechanisms in renal injury, autoimmune diseases, and molecular pathways regulating cellular senescence. They hold a dual role as Senior Research Fellow and Associate Professor, emphasizing translational research in kidney diseases. Key research grants include investigations into DNA damage signaling in polycystic kidney disease (2019) and the role of dendritic cells in chronic kidney disease treatment (2017), both funded by NHMRC Project Grants. Their work bridges basic science and clinical applications, particularly in biomarker discovery and repurposing therapeutic agents. Research interests span nephrology, immunology, and molecular biology, with recent studies exploring long noncoding RNAs as rheumatoid arthritis biomarkers and JNK pathway-driven endothelial senescence in chronic inflammation. Collaborations include teams at the Westmead Institute and international co-authors across immunology and nephrology disciplines.

• +۳ مورد دیگر

Dr. Qiong-Yi Zhao is a Research Fellow in Bioinformatics at the University of Queensland (UQ), with a joint appointment at the Queensland Brain Institute (QBI) and the Institute for Molecular Bioscience (IMB). She has over 15 years of experience in bioinformatics and next-generation sequencing (NGS), contributing to the development of NGS platforms like 454, Illumina, and SOLiD. As former leader of QBI's bioinformatics core facility (2012–2022), she specialized in NGS data analysis and custom project programming. Her research focuses on bioinformatics applications in epigenetics, transcriptomics, and neurobiology, with notable work on fear extinction mechanisms, DNA/RNA modifications (e.g., m6A, Z-DNA), and stem cell differentiation. She has authored/co-authored over 40 peer-reviewed publications, including studies in Nature Communications , Nature Neuroscience , and Cell Reports , accumulating 1,525 citations (Google Scholar, 2024). Dr. Zhao’s expertise spans computational methods for transcriptome analysis, regulatory gene discovery (e.g., TRIAGE R package), and collaborative projects in neuroscience and cardiovascular development. She is actively involved in supervising graduate students and has secured funding through grants like the NHMRC Project Grant and Motor Neurone Disease Research Institute of Australia Inc. Her work bridges computational biology with experimental neuroscience, addressing fundamental questions in memory, epigenetic regulation, and disease mechanisms.
