Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Xuefei Cao's research focuses on evaluating the toxicity of various substances using in vitro human airway tissue models. This work investigates the potential for DNA damage and mutagenicity caused by inhaled chemicals, such as formaldehyde and glutaraldehyde fumes, and cigarette smoke. Cao employs advanced techniques like the CometChip assay and Duplex Sequencing to assess genotoxicity. Additional research explores the integration of transcriptome analysis with pathophysiological endpoints to understand chemical toxicity more comprehensively. Cao has published 52 papers, accumulating over 1,000 citations, and holds an h-index of 19. Collaborations include Robert H. Heflich, Qiangen Wu, Rebecca Wynne, and Roberta A. Mittelstaedt, all at the National Center for Toxicological Research.
