Biography

You-Ying Chau is a Senior Research Fellow at the University of Edinburgh in the Centre for Cardiovascular Science. Her research primarily focuses on the function and heterogeneity of adipose tissue, along with its developmental origins. She investigates adipose progenitors and stem cells (APs), exploring the functional heterogeneity of APs across different depots and their unique gene expression pathways during both normal development and diseased conditions, such as obesity. Additionally, her lab studies the interactions between APs and neighboring cells including vascular and immune cells, contributing to a deeper understanding of adipose tissue dynamics in health and disease.
