Biography

Dr. Yuliang Wu obtained his B.Sc. and M.Sc. from Zhejiang University, China, in 1995 and 1998 respectively, and a Ph.D. from the International Centre of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB) in India in 2002. He completed postdoctoral training at the University of Alberta, Canada, and the National Institute on Aging at NIH, where he studied the molecular and cellular basis of human genetic diseases characterized by genomic instability. Dr. Wu joined the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Saskatchewan in April 2011. His research focuses on DNA repair proteins, particularly helicases and single-strand DNA binding proteins, exploring their roles in DNA repair processes, which are critical for maintaining genome integrity. His current work involves the investigation of helicases such as FANCJ and ChlR1, which are associated with specific genetic disorders and cancers. He aims to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying genomic instability to advance the diagnosis and treatment of human diseases and cancers.
