Yonghua Bao

Yonghua Bao's research focuses on the molecular biology of cancer, particularly how genes involved in metabolism (such as glucose transport) and cell death pathways contribute to the progression of cancers like prostate and colorectal cancer. The work draws on topics such as gene regulation, epigenetics (chemical modifications that control gene activity), and RNA modifications to understand cancer mechanisms. This research could interest students curious about how cellular metabolism and programmed cell death relate to tumor growth.

Publication output has declined from a peak of about 9 papers per year in 2017 to roughly 1-3 papers per year in recent years, suggesting a slowing pace of output over the past decade.
