Researcher

Jia Yee Wu is a Scientist at the Translational Biomedical Proteomics Lab (Jayantha Gunaratne’s Lab) at A*STAR IMCB. She is passionate about advancing research at the intersection of bioactive and translational medicine to promote health. Leveraging cutting-edge, mass-spectrometry-based proteomics, she maps proteomic signatures, dissects molecular pathways, and profiles proteolytic-cleavage patterns to reveal how specific bioactive molecules modulate human physiology, with the goal of turning these insights into tangible health interventions.

Wu earned her PhD degree at the Institute of Translational Medicine, ETH Zürich, Switzerland, where she uncovered novel protein-homeostasis regulators that shape ageing and lifespan. Driven by curiosity and a commitment to impact, she now harnesses state-of-the-art proteomics to illuminate and promote human health span.
