👨⚕️ Education
Prof. Dr. Xue-jie Yu received his MD from Shandong University, a Master’s in Preventive Medicine from the Chinese Academy for Preventive Medicine, and a Ph.D. in Cellular Biology and Microbiology from Aix-Marseille University.
🎓 Work Experience
From 1997 to 2016, he held various academic positions at the University of Texas Medical Branch. He later served as Professor and Dean at Wuhan University School of Health Sciences and is currently a professor at Wuhan University School of Public Health.
Research Focus
Prof. Dr. Xue-jie Yu’s research primarily focuses on emerging infectious diseases, with significant contributions to understanding severe fever with thrombocytopenia syndrome (SFTSV) and other zoonotic diseases. His work spans the discovery of novel viruses, such as the bunyavirus SFTSV, and their epidemiology, transmission, and interaction with the immune system. He investigates the role of vectors like ticks and bats in disease transmission and explores mechanisms of immune evasion by pathogens. His multidisciplinary approach includes molecular biology, microbiology, and epidemiology, contributing valuable insights into public health and disease prevention. 🦠🦟🧬
