General

Dr. Dong-Dong Wu, Principal Investigator.
Dong-Dong Wu obtained his B.S at the Fudan University in 2006, and received his Ph.D from Kunming institute of Zoology, CAS in 2011. He performed studies of artificial selection on domestic animals, particularly high altitude adaptation of domestic animals in Tibet. He has published more than 30 research papers in Nat Genet, Cell Res, Mol Biol Evol, PloS Genet, J Mol Cell Biol, Hum Mol Genet, etc, as first author or co-corresponding author.
