Yuxin Hu

Yuxin is a master’s student in Food Science at the University of Guelph’s Ontario Agricultural College. She holds dual BSc degrees in Food Science and Nutritional Science from McGill University and has been a trainee in the One Health Against Pathogen (OHAP) program since 2023. Her research characterizes zoonotic pathogens and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) in wild white‑tailed deer populations using shotgun metagenomics, addressing critical knowledge gaps in Canada’s emerging zoonosis surveillance. Yuxin is working towards understanding how wildlife can be better integrated into Canada’s surveillance framework for zoonotic disease prevention and preparedness. Outside of research, she enjoys staying active on the squash court.
