Yu Yang graduated from China CDC with a PhD in 2006 for her work on the reversed genetics of Sendai virus, and then Post-doctoral experience at University of Buffalo, working on developing transposon mutagenesis system in Borrelia burgdorferi. In 2008, she moved to the Chinese Academy of Inspection and Quarantine (CAIQ) of AQSIQ undertakes work on predicting, diagnostics, prevention and control for infectious disease. She has led a number of projects in this area ever since, developed detection methods against a lot of pathogens such as Zika virus, MERS-CoV, Rickettsia, C. burnetii, E. coli O104, Y. pestis, F. tularensis, B. pseudomalle and Brucella. Her research interests include the development of molecular and immune diagnosis by real- time PCR, Bio-plex, immune colloidal gold technique, and currently involved in developing novel magnetic nano-labels methods and metagenomics technique for pathogen detection. She has published extensively in this area and related disciplines, and received several research awards, with 32 technology patents.
