Biography
Yuliang Wu obtained his BSc and MSc from Zhejiang University, China in 1995 and 1998 respectively, and Ph.D. from International Centre of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology (ICGEB), Delhi, India in 2002. In the following eight years, Dr. Wu did his postdoc training at the University of Alberta, Canada and the National Institute on Aging-NIH, where he studied the molecular and cellular basis of human genetic diseases characterized by genomic instability. Dr. Wu joined the Department of Biochemistry at the University of Saskatchewan, Canada in May 2011. Dr. Wu’s lab focuses on DNA repair proteins, including helicase, single strand DNA binding protein, and recombinase. Through structural and functional studies of these DNA repair proteins, we try to understand the molecular mechanisms underlying genomic instability. Ultimately the molecular information derived from these projects may be exploited to advance diagnosis, prognosis, and treatment of human diseases and cancers.
