Professional Biography
Dr. Yu Sun worked as postdoctoral fellow in Uppsala University from 2013 to 2016 in Sweden, and filled a professor position in the SCAU in late 2016. Dr. Sun’s lab mainly worked on the indoor microbiome and occupants’ health, including asthma, respiratory infection and sick-building syndrome (SBS). He also had broad interests in wide range of microbiome researches, such as human or animal gut microbiome and soil microbiome.
Area of Expertise
