Research Profile
The research interests of Dr Qinghua Wu are focusing on metabolism, chemical
structure-activity relationships (SAR), toxicity, and signal transduction pathway of
mycotoxins. The mycotoxins are concerned on trichothecenes. The functional crosstalk
of MAPK-JAK/STAT signaling pathways induced by trichothecenes are investigated. The
regulation of cell apoptosis and survival by signal pathways as well as the nuclear
translocation of the important proteins to perform the functions are highly concerned. In
metabolism study, biotransformation of T-2 toxin in the liver and intestine of
food-producing animals such as pig, chicken and carp are investigated. The metabolic
differences among these species were compared. In addition, another special interest is
the degradation and the formation of degradation products during extrusion cooking. A
range of systematic studies of physicochemical parameters such as temperature,
moisture, compression, residence time, pH value and protein content on the impact of
deoxynivalenol decomposition during extrusion cooking were studied.
