Overview

Jingyuan Fu is a researcher affiliated with the University Medical Center Groningen in the Netherlands, specializing in fields related to biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, with a strong emphasis on medicine. Their research output spans 175 publications in biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, alongside 172 in medicine, reflecting an interdisciplinary focus within health sciences.

The main subfields of their study include molecular biology, genetics, epidemiology, physiology, and infectious diseases. These areas support their extensive work on gut microbiota and its implications for health, which is the predominant topic of their research portfolio, covering 140 publications. Additional focus areas include diet and metabolism studies, liver disease diagnosis and treatment, research on Clostridium difficile and Clostridium perfringens, epigenetics and DNA methylation, genetic associations and epidemiology, and metabolomics and mass spectrometry studies.

Fu has contributed to several recent significant papers, including:

  • Large-scale association analyses identify host factors influencing human gut microbiome composition, 2021, Nature Genetics
  • Interaction between drugs and the gut microbiome, 2020, Gut
  • Genomic and drug target evaluation of 90 cardiovascular proteins in 30,931 individuals, 2020, Nature Metabolism
  • Impact of commonly used drugs on the composition and metabolic function of the gut microbiota, 2020, Nature Communications
  • Environmental factors shaping the gut microbiome in a Dutch population, 2022, Nature

Frequent coauthors associated with Fu's work include Alexandra Zhernakova, Alexander Kurilshikov, Rinse K. Weersma, Cisca Wijmenga, and Sergio Andreu-Sánchez. These collaborations have contributed to over 300 publications collectively.

Fu's research is often published in venues such as:

  • bioRxiv (Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory)
  • Gut
  • iMeta
  • Nature Communications
  • Cell Reports

In addition to articles, Fu has authored a book titled The Wonderland of Our Genomes, published in 2023 by the University of Groningen Press.
