Overview

Rudolf S.S. Wu is affiliated with the University of Hong Kong in China. Their research focuses primarily on environmental science and biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology. Within these fields, they have explored several subfields including health, toxicology and mutagenesis, pollution, ecology, molecular biology, and oceanography.

Wu's body of work addresses multiple topics related to environmental and molecular sciences. These main topics include:

  • Environmental Toxicology and Ecotoxicology
  • Microplastics and Plastic Pollution
  • Effects and risks of endocrine disrupting chemicals
  • Ocean Acidification Effects and Responses
  • Marine Bivalve and Aquaculture Studies
  • Physiological and biochemical adaptations
  • Heavy metals in environment

Their recent publications illustrate the diversity of their research interests and contributions. Notable papers include:

  • "Epigenetic plasticity enables copepods to cope with ocean acidification," 2022, published in Nature Climate Change
  • "Hypoxia in aquatic invertebrates: Occurrence and phenotypic and molecular responses," 2023, Aquatic Toxicology
  • "Hypoxia-induced epigenetic transgenerational miRNAs dysregulation involved in reproductive impairment of ovary," 2022, Chemico-Biological Interactions
  • "Low-Dose Radiation Can Cause Epigenetic Alterations Associated With Impairments in Both Male and Female Reproductive Cells," 2021, Frontiers in Genetics
  • "Spatial and temporal variations of trace metal body burdens of live mussels Mytilus galloprovincialis and field validation of the Artificial Mussels in Australian inshore marine environment," 2020, Chemosphere

Wu frequently collaborates with a network of co-authors including Keng Po Lai, Richard Yuen Chong Kong, Ting-Fung Chan, Nathan Tam, and Xiao Lin. Their publication record shows repeated contributions to journals such as Marine Pollution Bulletin, The Science of The Total Environment, SSRN Electronic Journal, Aquatic Toxicology, and Frontiers in Genetics.

Overall, Wu's scientific output represents a significant engagement with environmental toxicology and molecular biology, emphasizing aquatic environments and organismal responses to pollution and environmental stressors. Their work incorporates both molecular mechanisms and ecological impacts, contributing to the understanding of health and pollution risks especially in marine and aquatic systems.
