Lead Scientist
Purdue University
Yuxin Wang is a current lead scientist and lab manager of the Lindemann lab. She obtained her Ph.D. degree from the Institutes for Nutritional Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 2017. After that, she did her post-doc training at UMASS-Amherst and UC-DAVIS. She focused on the effect and mechanisms of the eicosanoid signaling pathway and the metabolites in colon permeability, and colon diseases. She worked as an Assistant Project Scientist at UC DAVIS; there she worked on establishing the cellular system to determine the mechanism of PROTAC small-molecule degraders. Currently, Yuxin plans to set up the in vitro cellular system to determine the effect and mechanisms of microbiome metabolites and pathogens that affect the colon monolayer and the immune system.
