Biography and Research Information
OverviewAI-generated summary
Yan Huang's research focuses on animal science, with a particular emphasis on cellular differentiation, metabolism, and the impact of maternal factors on offspring development. Her work has investigated the role of mesenchymal progenitor cells in optimizing beef cattle performance and carcass value, as well as fetal muscle development and associated signaling pathways. Huang has explored how maternal obesity affects insulin signaling and leads to lipid accumulation and fibrosis in the skeletal muscle of sheep offspring.
Her research also extends to the gut microbiome and its relationship with diseases such as atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease and inflammatory bowel disease, with studies utilizing mouse models. Additionally, Huang has contributed to understanding cellular mechanisms in other organisms, including a novel outer membrane β-1,6-glucanase in myxobacteria and the disruption of flavonoid homeostasis in mulberry fruits. She has also been involved in research related to glioblastoma bioenergetics and tumor growth.
With an h-index of 29 and over 2,500 citations across 101 publications, Huang is recognized as a highly cited researcher. She has received federal funding from the NSF for an I-Corps project focused on artificial intelligence-supported flood resilience assessment. Huang collaborates with several researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Palika Dias Morse, Sarah Shelby, Kristopher A. Bottoms, and Ken Coffey.
