Jianguo Wu
Dean's Distinguished Professor of landscape ecology and sustainability science. Current research areas include landscape ecology, urban ecology, and sustainability science. Editor-in-Chief of Landscape Ecology; Elected AAAS Fellow (2007); Distinguished Landscape Ecologist Award from United States Association for Landscape Ecology (2010); Outstanding Scientific Achievements Award from International Association for Landscape Ecology (2011); Elected Fellow of Ecological Society of America (2019).
Zhijin Wu
I develop statistical methodology and software for the analysis of -omics data. I am particularly interested in the regulation of transcription: the molecular mechanism as well as its association with disease.
Jang-Yen J.Y. Wu
Senior Schmidt Fellow and Distinguished Professor, Department of Biomedical Science of Charles E. Schmidt College of Medicine, Florida Atlantic University. Recipient of Award in Science and Technology of Taiwanese-American Foundation in 2005. Associate Editor of Journal of Biomedical Science.
Joseph C Wu
Joseph C. Wu, MD, PhD is Director of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute and Simon H. Stertzer Professor of Medicine (Cardiology) and Radiology at the Stanford School of Medicine. Dr. Wu received his MD from Yale University School of Medicine. He trained in internal medicine and cardiology at UCLA followed by a PhD in the Dept of Molecular Pharmacology. His clinical interests involve cardiovascular imaging and adult congenital heart disease. His lab works on biological mechanisms of patient-specific and disease-specific induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs). The main goals are to (i) understand basic cardiovascular disease mechanisms, (ii) accelerate drug discovery and screening, (iii) develop “clinical trial in a dish” concept, and (iv) implement precision cardiovascular medicine for prevention and treatment of patients. His lab uses a combination of genomics, stem cells, cellular & molecular biology, physiological testing, and molecular imaging technologies to better understand molecular and pathophysiological processes.
Hao Wu
Hao Wu is a patent scientist in an oncology-focused biotechnology company, Exelixis, Inc. She obtained her Ph.D. in molecular biology from Rowan University (previously known as the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (UMDNJ) – Stratford Campus). With hands-on knowledge in various aspects of biology, including molecular biology, cell biology, biochemistry, immunology, neuroscience, oncology, Hao has worked on inventions spanning a broad range of technologies, for example, biologics, antibodies, biomarkers, diagnostics, cell therapy, gene therapy, and sequencing.
Rongling Wu
Prof. Rongling Wu is a Distinguished Professor of Public Health Sciences and Statistics at Pennsylvania State Cancer Institute and Director of the Center for Statistical Genetics.
His research interests include; Quantitative Trait Loci, Genes, Growth, Population, Multifactorial Inheritance, Statistical Models, Genome, Populus, Genotype, Single Nucleotide Polymorphism, Phenotype and Chromosome Mapping.
Huiting Wu
Dr. Huiting Wu is a lecturer in the School of Geosciences and Surveying Engineering at China University of Mining and Technology (Beijing) in Beijing, China.
Dr. Wu's research focus is on taxonomy, palaeoecology and morphology of brachiopod, mass extinction and biotic recovery. She is also interested in ecology and morphological changes of brachiopod in modern ocean, bivalves and ammonoids.
Dr. Wu is a graduate of China University of Geosciences (Wuhan). Between 2016-2017, she was a visiting scholar in Deakin University. Between 2018-2010, she was a post-doctors fellow in the Peking University.
