About Jujiao Kuang
Dr Jujiao Kuang is a Research Fellow of the Institute for Health and Sport (iHeS) at Victoria University.
Jujiao has extensive training in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry and genetics, with specialist expertise in the study of Caenorhabditis elegans and human mitochondria. Since receiving her PhD in 2011 from the University of Queensland, Jujiao has published over twelve papers in international peer-reviewed journals, including the prestigious journal Science.
Following her PhD, Jujiao completed Postdoctoral training in the Department of Molecular Biology at the University of Wyoming (USA) and the Laboratory of Ageing at the Centenary Institute of Cancer Medicine and Cell Biology (Australia).
After joining the research group of Professor David Bishop at Victoria University in 2014, Jujiao's research has focused on investigating the mechanisms that underlie the role of mitochondria in response to exercise, mainly using human skeletal muscle. She is also actively involved in supervising visiting students, Honours and PhD students.
Qualifications
- PhD (Genetics and Biochemistry), University of Queensland, Australia, 2011
- Bachelor of Science (Honours), University of Queensland, Australia, 2005
- Diploma in Biotechnology, Ngee Ann Polytechnic, Singapore.
