Yuejin Wu, Ph.D., M.S.

Headshot of Yuejin Wu
  • Assistant Professor of Medicine

Background

Yuejin Wu earned his Ph.D. in Pharmacology from Tongji Medical University in Wuhan, China in 1990. He has been trained at Peking University (China), University of Montreal (Canada), and Vanderbilt University (U.S.). Dr. Wu is a founding member of the Anderson lab and has contributed extensively to establishing electrophysiological studies, single cell isolation, and other functional experiments in the lab. He is currently focused on studies of the pacemaking mechanism of sinoatrial node cells, especially on the role of intracellular and mitochondrial calcium, as well as calmodulin kinase II regulation in pacemaking activity.
