Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Xuefei Cao investigates the toxicity of various substances, particularly focusing on their effects on human airway tissues using in vitro models. Her research has explored the genetic toxicity of chemicals, assessing DNA damage and mutagenesis, and has utilized quantitative in vitro to in vivo extrapolation methods to estimate safe exposure levels. Cao has also integrated transcriptome analysis with pathophysiological endpoints to evaluate the toxicity of cigarette smoke and specific chemicals like formaldehyde, glutaraldehyde, and ortho-phthalaldehyde in human airway epithelial tissue models. She has published 52 papers, accumulating 986 citations, and holds an h-index of 19. Cao has collaborated extensively with researchers at the National Center for Toxicological Research, including Robert H. Heflich and Qiangen Wu, with whom she shares five co-authored publications.
