Xuna Wu

Received PhD in September 2012 from the University of Potsdam, Germany and the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology, Germany. Conducted postdoctoral research at the Max Planck Institute of Molecular Plant Physiology from September 2012 to October 2013. Conducted postdoctoral research at the University of Hohenheim, Germany from October 2013 to August 2019. Joined the School of Life Sciences/Center for Life Sciences at Yunnan University in September 2019 through the university’s overseas high-level talent introduction program as a researcher, establishing a functional proteomics research group. Research Interests: 1. Using quantitative proteomics (especially phosphoproteomics and protein interactions) and systems biology combined with molecular biology and physiology methods to study plant membrane proteins, particularly the functions of receptor kinases and transport proteins in sucrose, nitrogen and phosphorus signaling pathways. 2. Optimizing and improving proteomics research technologies, especially those related to post-translational modifications (phosphorylation, glycosylation, etc.) and protein interactions, including sample preparation, peptide enrichment, mass spectrometry sequencing, and subsequent bioinformatics analysis and result interpretation.
