Xixi Zhao Data-verified

OverviewAI-generated summary

Xixi Zhao's research focuses on applying engineering and computational methods to biological systems. She has investigated the complete biosynthesis of QS-21 in engineered yeast and the engineering of *Saccharomyces cerevisiae* as a platform for nucleotide sugar biosynthesis. Her work also includes the dynamic upregulation of rate-limiting enzymes for valerolactam biosynthesis in *Corynebacterium glutamicum*.

In the health sciences, Zhao has utilized machine learning to predict the prognosis of breast cancer patients, specifically those with brain or bone metastases. She has also explored the role of Vitamin C in inhibiting PD-L1 and enhancing T cell function in triple-negative breast cancer (TNBC), and investigated how phosphorylation and stabilization of PD-L1 by CK2 suppresses dendritic cell function. Her publications include work on reducing higher alcohols during kiwifruit wine fermentation.
