Jing Yu, PhD
Dr. Yu received her PhD in Biochemistry, Molecular and Cell Biology at Cornell University and then moved to the Department of Molecular and Cellular Biology at Harvard University for a postdoctoral position with Andrew McMahon. She will join the faculty of the Department of Cell Biology and the Morphogenesis and Regenerative Medicine Institute at UVA in March, 2007.
Her recent work includes a genetic analysis of functions of the ureteric bud epithelium signaling (Hedgehog and Wnt) in tissue growth/differentiation and organ regional patterning during murine kidney development; a Genome-scale expression screen of transcription factors in the embryonic kidney; and development of an inducible and reproducible shRNA expression system in mice.
