Rate My Professor Yuh-Cherng Chai

Dr. Chai's research investigates the cellular and biochemical mechanisms underlying human diseases induced by oxidant stress, with a particular emphasis on protein S-glutathionylation, glutathione, glutaredoxin, and their roles in cellular redox homeostasis and signaling. His notable publications include the review article 'Glutathione and Glutaredoxin—Key Players in Cellular Redox Homeostasis and Signaling' (Antioxidants, 2023, co-authored with John J. Mieyal), 'Redox Regulation by Protein S-Glutathionylation: From Molecular Mechanisms to Implications in Health and Disease' (International Journal of Molecular Sciences, 2020, co-authored with Aysenur Musaogullari), and 'The Effect of Oxidant and the Non-Oxidant Alteration of Cellular Thiol Concentration on the Formation of Protein Mixed-Disulfides in HEK 293 Cells' (Chemistry, 2008, co-authored with Jasen L. Gilge and Michael Fisher). He has authored or co-authored 16 research articles and one book chapter. Dr. Chai received the Tarazi Prize for significant achievement in cardiovascular research at the Cleveland Clinic Foundation and was funded by the American Heart Association Northeast Ohio Chapter from 1995 to 1997. His work has garnered approximately 398 citations.
