Research summary

Ye Bu's research spans two distinct areas: livestock biology (studying rumen microbes, gene expression, and metabolism in cattle to understand nutrition, growth, and meat quality) and gene therapy engineering (developing improved viral delivery vehicles called AAVs, or adeno-associated viruses, for delivering genetic treatments more safely and precisely to specific tissues). Earlier work also involved zebrafish embryo imaging to study blood vessel formation and cell development. This suggests a research trajectory that has moved from basic developmental biology toward applied biomedical and agricultural biotechnology.

Publication output has been variable over the past decade with a gap in 2018 and 2023, but has increased notably in 2025 and 2026, suggesting growing recent activity.
