Dr. Yao Wu is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow at the School of Public Health and Preventive Medicine at Monash University. He completed his PhD at Monash University and holds a Master of Science (2020) and Bachelor of Medicine (2018) from Peking University. Dr. Wu conducts interdisciplinary research in population health, genomics, and climate change, focusing on quantifying the health economic impacts of climate change with particular emphasis on air pollution, wildfires, floods, and extreme weather events. He utilizes large-scale environmental health datasets to analyze global exposure patterns, estimate disease burdens, and generate evidence to guide public health climate adaptation policies. His research majorly addresses the molecular biological consequences of climate-related stressors, specifically how extreme weather events affect genomic and epigenetic pathways. Additionally, Dr. Wu contributes to climate-health economics by quantifying productivity losses and broader economic burdens linked to environmental exposures, providing critical insights into strengthening public health systems and workforce resilience. He has published nearly 100 peer-reviewed articles in leading scientific journals including the New England Journal of Medicine, Nature, and Lancet.
