Dr Yuewei Xu did his undergrad study in the Department of Biological Sciences at XJTLU (2013-2017) and then completed MRes (Cancer Biology) and PhD study at Imperial College London. During the PhD, his research focused on developing novel combination therapies for PARP inhibitor resistant ovarian cancer. Later, he worked in WuXi Biologics (Shanghai) for 1.5 years and led a team of four scientists. His group has helped multiple clients developing cell lines, producing biopharmaceuticals, and optimizing culture process for large scale production.
Driven by passion for teaching and research, Yuewei came back to academia. He felt studying at XJTLU was a life-changing experience and he hope more students can feel the same.
Here in XJTLU, Yuewei's research uses drug combination screens to identify novel drug combinations for cancer treatment. He is also interested in studying how alternative RNA splicing may affect cellular response to DNA damage and other stresses.
Over the years of study and reserach, Yuewei has used a range of functional assays that are very useful for cancer research, such as cell growth, apoptosis, cell cycle, DNA damage, RNA splicing, 3D cell invasion assays, and synergy analysis.
