Biography

Dr. Michael Wu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Veterinary Biomedical Sciences at the University of Saskatchewan. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that cells use to sense and respond to environmental toxic stressors. His laboratory investigates genetic factors that interact with environmental cues to influence fundamental cellular processes and shape whole-animal physiology, including development, aging, and stress resistance. Utilizing the model organism Caenorhabditis elegans, Dr. Wu combines a range of experimental approaches involving classical genetics, molecular biology, protein biochemistry, and animal physiology to address critical questions in environmental toxicology and stress biology. He is committed to mentoring students at the undergraduate, graduate, and postdoctoral levels, encouraging them to reach out for potential research opportunities.
