Grant-Funded Researcher (A)
School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences
College of Science
Dr. Hue is a Postdoctoral Researcher at the School of Animal and Veterinary Sciences, University of Adelaide. She has extensive knowledge and expertise in molecular biology, immunology, microbiology, virology, and biochemistry. She is passionate about improving animal survival, health and performance by targeting animal biology, genetics, immunology and nutrition. She has excellent skills in both in vivo and in vitro assays in many projects, including cattle, pigs, chickens, and sheep. Hue has been optimising and performing a wide range of assays, including DNA, RNA, RT-qPCR, protein assays, ELISA, cell culture, histology, bacterial and viral culture, etc.
Colostrum provides essential nutrients, growth factors, and various immune components for newborns that help neonates resist infection during the first days of their life. During her PhD program, she investigated different colostrum components, especially immune components (IgG, protein and immune-related miRNAs) that can transfer to newborn calves after receiving colostrum to improve survival, health and performance.
Currently, Hue is working on the "Wool bio-harvesting" project, and aims to discover the molecular and biochemical mechanisms in hair follicles that disrupt the fibre hardening processes. She played a leading role in laboratory works to discover the drug that creates a weakened zone in the wool.
Hue’s teaching interests include molecular genetics, biotechnology, immunology, microbiology, virology and biochemistry.
