Biography

Prof Shubiao Wu has interdisciplinary expertise in both animal and plant fields, particularly in molecular genetics, gut microflora, necrotic enteritis and net energy. Prior to his current position at the University of New England, he worked as a research fellow at the University of Otago, New Zealand in inherited retinal diseases. He received his PhD in molecular mapping and reproduction of olives at The University of Adelaide in 2002. Before migrating to Australia, Shubiao held a research position in Shanxi Academy of Agricultural Sciences, China. He obtained his MSc at Inner Mongolia University and BSc at Lanzhou University. Shubiao has published over 130 refereed research papers in reputed international journals. He is the Associate Editor of Animal Nutrition, Editorial Board Member of Veterinary Sciences, and the Academic Editor of PLOS ONE, and serves as a reviewer for over 40 scientific journals. His current research interests are in the area of poultry nutrition and health with gut microflora and health, nutrigenomics as focus, and plant genetics and genomics. He also has collaborations with researchers in other biological areas involving net energy systems and transcriptomics in Australia and overseas.
