Qingzhuo Liu, PhD

I earned my PhD from Fudan University in 2023, where I investigated the dynamics and molecular mechanisms of synaptic transmission and plasticity using ex vivo electrophysiology, molecular and cellular approaches, and advanced fluorescence imaging. I began my postdoctoral training in Dr. Yong Xu’s...

Xi Wu, PhD

I received a PhD in Neuroscience from Peking University, where I focused on neuropathic pain pathways and the mechanisms of insulin secretion in pancreatic β cells. In 2025, I started postdoctoral research in Dr. Yong Xu’s laboratory at Baylor College of Medicine, studying the neurocircuits that...

Lamei Xue, PhD

I obtained my PhD from Jiangnan University, where I conducted research on the intergenerational genetic mechanisms by which maternal nutrition impacts the metabolic homeostasis of offspring. My research also explored the beneficial effects of exercise on skeletal muscles through lactate. During my...

Meixin Sun

I obtained my MD degree from Jilin University. In December 2024, I joined Dr. Xu’s lab as a visiting student, where I continue to investigate the relationship between metabolic disorders and cognitive function. Outside the lab, I enjoy music and drawing.

Yong Xu, MD, PhD

I received medical training in Tongji Medical University (1994-2002) with a specialty in gastroenterology. I then received PhD training in cell biology and neuroscience, working with Dr. Teresa Krukoff at University of Alberta in Canada (2002-2006) to study the neural mechanisms for blood pressure...

Yongxiang Li, PhD

I earned my PhD from South China Agricultural University and began my postdoctoral training in Dr. Xu’s lab in November 2021. My doctoral research investigated how nutritional signals regulate hedonic feeding through their effects on dopamine neurons. Currently, my work focuses on uncovering the...

Jingjing Cheng, PhD

My research focuses on the neural control of metabolic disorders, particularly obesity. I earned my PhD at Zhejiang University, where I investigated the neural mechanisms regulating reward and feeding behavior. In September 2024, I joined the Xu lab to study how hypothalamic circuits contribute to...

Yue (Alvin) Deng, PhD

My research focuses on the brain mechanisms underlying metabolic regulation. By integrating transgenic animal models with cutting-edge neuroscience tools and comprehensive physiological and behavioral phenotyping systems, I aim to identify the neural circuits and molecular pathways that govern...

Fuhui Wang, PhD

I received my PhD degree from the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, where I focused on elucidating the mechanisms of tumorigenesis. My doctoral work demonstrated that the nucleocytoplasmic shuttling of the DNA demethylase TET2 plays a critical role in regulating colorectal cancer...

Xinming Liu

I received a Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Medicine from Binzhou Medical University and completed my Master’s degree in Internal Medicine at Jilin University, where I also undertook standardized residency training and gained clinical research experience. My research focuses on the mechanisms of...
