Keynote talk title: Profiling of the Low-Abundance Lipidome by Selective Enrichment and Isomer-Resolved Tandem Mass Spectrometry
Dr. Yu Xia earned her B.S. (1999) in Chemistry from Lanzhou University, M.S. (2002) from Shanghai Institute of Material Medical, CASs, and Ph.D. (2006) under the supervision of Professor Scott A. McLuckey from Purdue University, USA. After postdoctoral training with Professor Graham R. Cooks at Purdue, Dr. Xia took positions as the Assistant and Associate Professor at the Department of Chemistry, Purdue University (2009-2017). She joined Tsinghua University as a Professor of the Department of Chemistry in 2016. Dr. Xia utilizes radical chemistry as a unique approach to achieve enhanced bioanalysis via mass spectrometry. Her recent research emphasizes on developing structural lipidomics tools capable of resolving structural isomers. Her work has resulted in over 120 peer-reviewed publications and book chapters. Dr. Xia received ASMS Research Award (2013) and served as the Secretary of ASMS (2015-2017). She currently serves as the Editor for the Journal of Mass Spectrometry and the Vice President for Diversity and Inclusion of the International Lipidomics Society.
