Keli Hu

Keli Hu's research focuses on how cells sense and respond to stress, particularly through ion channels (proteins that control the flow of charged particles across cell membranes) and signaling pathways involved in heart and nerve function. Much of the work examines the TASK-1 potassium channel and its role in low-oxygen (hypoxia) conditions, mitochondrial function, and cardiac protection, with some studies extending into cancer cell biology and nerve injury repair. This research could interest students curious about cellular stress responses, cardiac electrophysiology, or the molecular mechanisms linking ion channels to disease.

Publication output has been modest and uneven over the past decade, with occasional gaps (e.g., 2018, 2022) followed by small increases, averaging just over one paper per year in the last five years.
