Early Academic Pursuits

Ms. Jia Huang began her academic journey in Animal Science at Nanjing Agricultural University (2017–2021), where she excelled in major courses such as Animal Biochemistry, Genetics, Nutrition, and Reproduction. She demonstrated academic excellence from an early stage. She was awarded the National Encouragement Scholarship and the Three Good First-Class Scholarship, reflecting both her diligence and outstanding performance.

Professional Endeavors & Internships

Throughout her academic life, Jia Huang actively engaged in hands-on training and field practice. During internships such as the Feed Science Internship (2019), she participated in designing feed formulas for various livestock. Her work at Huai’an Jielong Animal Husbandry involved practical techniques like artificial insemination and dairy cow examination. R language data analysis, and egg quality determination, showcasing a well-rounded practical skill set and a strong collaborative spirit.

Contributions & Research Focus

Jia Huang’s research reflects a keen focus on animal nutrition and immunity, especially in young animals. She led a national-level innovation project (2019–2020) under the supervision of Dr. Fan Hongjie, developing a multivalent recombinant Lactobacillus vector vaccine for porcine viral diarrhea—handling lactic acid bacteria cultivation, PCR, RNA extraction, and protein expression. She later conducted research on the effects of indole-3-formaldehyde feed additives (2020–2021), working with both mice and piglets, and was rated excellent in her project outcomes. Currently, as part of her master’s thesis, she investigates the replacement of antibiotics in broiler feed using plant essential oils and organic acid microcapsules, applying RT-PCR, enzyme activity assays, 16s microbiome analysis, and volatile fatty acid testing—culminating in a publication in Poultry Science (IF = 4.4), with a second paper under review.

Impact and Influence

Jia Huang’s research aligns with global efforts to reduce antibiotic use in animal husbandry and promote sustainable, safe food systems. Her scientific insights contribute to better understanding intestinal health, immunity, and metabolic nutrition, directly impacting public health and animal welfare. She is driven by a vision: ensuring people eat better meat, eggs, and milk while prioritizing agricultural stability and national well-being. Her work is not only academically significant but socially conscious.

Academic Citations & Publications

Jia has already made her mark academically, with one Zone 1 SCI paper published in Poultry Science and another in Animal Nutrition in progress. These early publications signal her capacity to contribute meaningfully to peer-reviewed literature, especially in the fields of nutritional immunology and molecular nutrition.

Technical Skills

Jia possesses robust technical expertise in both laboratory techniques and data analysis. She’s proficient in SPSS, GraphPad Prism, EndNote, and adept with R language for data visualization. Her practical skills include bacteria and cell culture, aseptic operations, intestinal tissue analysis, and vaccine development. She regularly uses platforms like Lianchuan Bio Cloud for correlation heatmaps, highlighting her modern approach to scientific research.

Teaching & Leadership Experience

Jia’s leadership capabilities were evident during her tenure as the Discipline Inspection Committee Member of the Party Branch for Poultry Nutrition Graduate Students at China Agricultural University (2021–2022). Through this role, she gained experience in academic integrity, peer management, and teamwork. Her enthusiasm for scientific seminars and mentoring also suggests she will be a strong educator and guide for future scholars.

Legacy & Future Contributions

With a deep-seated passion for scientific research, Jia Huang is poised to become a thought leader in the field of animal nutrition and immunology. Her interests lie in tackling nutritional metabolic diseases, intestine-immune interactions, and molecular regulatory pathways, especially for young animals. She stands committed to enhancing animal welfare, ensuring sustainable agriculture, and improving food quality for human consumption. Her integrity, persistence, and vision point toward a future marked by innovation and impact.
