Biography
Funded by a University International Postgraduate Award, Jerry (Yu) Huang is undertaking his PhD under the joint supervision of A/Prof Jacob Qi (Heart Research Institute) and Dr Renjing Liu (Victor Chang Cardiac Research Institute). His research focuses on the role of plasma membrane lipids in regulating atherogenesis.
Prior to his PhD, Jerry completed his Honours and MPhil studies under the supervision of A/Prof Qi, during which he co-first authored publications in high-impact journals, including Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) and Journal of Translational Medicine.
