  • 1999 - Fellow of American Physical Society (APS) Citation For his light scattering study on coilglobule transition of single homopolymer chains, including first observation of the molten globule state

Overview

Chi Wu is affiliated with the Chinese University of Hong Kong in China and has contributed to research primarily in Environmental Science, with significant work in related subfields such as Pollution, Molecular Biology, Food Science, Epidemiology, and Analytical Chemistry.

The scientist's work covers a range of topics including:

  • Pesticide and Herbicide Environmental Studies
  • Congenital heart defects research
  • Pesticide Residue Analysis and Safety
  • Pharmaceutical and Antibiotic Environmental Impacts
  • Congenital Heart Disease Studies
  • Soil Carbon and Nitrogen Dynamics
  • Arsenic contamination and mitigation

Chi Wu has collaborated frequently with several coauthors, notably Xingang Liu, Liangang Mao, and Lizhen Zhu, each with 18 co-authored publications, followed by Lan Zhang with 12 and Yongquan Zheng with 11 joint works.

Publications are often found in journals such as Circulation Research, Water Research, Chemosphere, Developmental Biology, and Biochar, each venue hosting multiple articles by the scientist.

Significant recent papers include:

  • "AP-1 Contributes to Chromatin Accessibility to Promote Sarcomere Disassembly and Cardiomyocyte Protrusion During Zebrafish Heart Regeneration," 2020, Circulation Research
  • "Degradation of difenoconazole in water and soil: Kinetics, degradation pathways, transformation products identification and ecotoxicity assessment," 2021, Journal of Hazardous Materials
  • "Modulation of Mammalian Cardiomyocyte Cytokinesis by the Extracellular Matrix," 2020, Circulation Research
  • "Wnt/β-catenin signaling acts cell-autonomously to promote cardiomyocyte regeneration in the zebrafish heart," 2021, Developmental Biology
  • "Abiotic transformation of kresoxim-methyl in aquatic environments: Structure elucidation of transformation products by LC-HRMS and toxicity assessment," 2023, Water Research

An award received by Chi Wu is the Fellow of the American Physical Society (APS) in 1999, with a citation referencing work on light scattering studies related to coil-globule transition of single homopolymer chains and the first observation of the molten globule state.
