Assoc. Prof. Dr. Yu’e Cha is a distinguished environmental toxicologist whose academic training and professional achievements reflect a deep commitment to advancing public health through scientific innovation. She began her academic journey in chemistry, earning a Bachelor of Science from the Beijing Institute of Technology, where she cultivated strong analytical and experimental capabilities. Driven by a passion for understanding chemical interactions in environmental and biological systems, she continued her studies with a Master’s Degree in Analytical Chemistry at Capital Normal University. This foundation equipped her with advanced laboratory skills and an appreciation for rigorous scientific methodology, laying the groundwork for her future contributions to environmental health research.Dr. Cha’s professional career spans several prominent research institutions, where she progressively assumed more influential roles. Her early work as a Research Assistant in Applied Chemistry allowed her to gain essential experience in laboratory operations and applied research management. She later advanced to the Chinese Center for Disease Control and Prevention, where she served as a research intern and assistant researcher in the Rural Water Supply Improvement Technology Guidance Center. During this period, she worked on improving rural sanitation systems, enhancing water quality, and supporting national initiatives aimed at reducing environmental health risks among vulnerable populations.Her expertise in environmental toxicology deepened at the National Institute of Environmental Health, where she contributed to the Environmental Toxicology Laboratory. As an assistant researcher and later an associate researcher, she expanded her research scope to include atmospheric particulate exposure, respiratory health risks, toxic components of airborne pollutants, and population-level environmental susceptibility. Her role also extended to national public health preparedness, where she supported epidemic information analysis and early warning activities under the Emergency Office of the National Health Commission. This experience highlighted her ability to integrate scientific research with real-time public health response.Throughout her career, Dr. Cha has participated in and led multiple influential scientific projects supported by national science foundations, health commissions, and international organizations. Her contributions span studies on aging biomarkers, pollutant exposure pathways, respiratory inflammation, particulate matter toxicology, environmental determinants of infectious disease transmission, climate change adaptation strategies, and soil pollution exposure assessments. She has also led international cooperation initiatives aimed at improving environmental sanitation and population health outcomes.Dr. Cha’s scholarly impact is reflected in her academic metrics. Her research is cited 174 times across 154 documents, and she has authored 11 scientific publications. With an h-index of 7, she demonstrates consistent scientific influence and a strong record of meaningful, widely recognized contributions to environmental health science.
