Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Qiangen Wu's research focuses on investigating the toxicity of various chemical compounds and environmental exposures using in vitro models. Wu has published studies evaluating the effects of substances such as cannabidiol, formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and ortho-phthalaldehyde on human cell lines and tissue models, including HepG2 cells, Sertoli cells, Leydig cells, and human airway epithelial tissues. These investigations often integrate methods like transcriptome analysis to understand the underlying mechanisms of toxicity.

Wu's work includes assessing drug metabolism and liver toxicity, as well as the sub-acute and chronic effects of inhaled substances. Collaborations with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Matthew Bryant, Xuefei Cao, Si Chen, and Frederick A. Beland, have contributed to a body of work on toxicological assessment. Wu leads a research group dedicated to these toxicological studies and has a notable publication record with an h-index of 21 and over 1,100 citations.
