Yuxuan Miao’s research focuses on understanding how normal and cancerous epithelial tissues adapt to inflammation, with a special interest in dissecting how stem cells in these tissues interact with the immune system to maintain normal tissue fitness and achieve cancer immune evasion. Her work has significant implications in the fields of Adult Stem Cell, Cancer Immunology, and Tissue Regeneration, illustrating the complex dynamics of wound healing and tumor progression. Miao’s recent studies include examining the dynamics of circulating tumor HPV-DNA in response to neoadjuvant chemotherapy in HPV-associated oropharyngeal cancer and exploring the anti-tumor activity of PRMT5 inhibition in adenoid cystic carcinoma. Additionally, she investigates the role of CD80 in skin stem cells and its promotion of regulatory T cell expansion, contributing to tissue repair in inflammatory environments. With a robust academic background and multiple accolades, Miao continues to advance our understanding of cancer biology through innovative research and interdisciplinary collaboration.
