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...

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...

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...

I am a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Yong Xu’s lab at the University of South Florida, where I study how hypothalamic circuits integrate nutritional and hormonal signals to regulate reproduction, metabolism, and behavior. My work uses genetic, viral, and circuit-level approaches to uncover how estrogen...

I am a freshman at the University of South Florida Honors College, majoring in Cell and Molecular Biology. Through my experience working in the healthcare industry and in my studies, I developed a strong interest in immunology and pathology, particularly in how neurological and psychological factors...

I am an Assistant Professor at the Center for Molecular Psychiatry, Department of Psychiatry & Behavioral Neurosciences. I obtained my PhD degree in Biomedical Sciences from the Chinese University of Hong Kong followed by a postdoc training at Baylor College of Medicine. My research focuses on how...

I joined Dr. Yong Xu’s lab through an exchange program in 2018 and earned my PhD degree from Xiangya School of Medicine in 2021. I then continued my training in Dr. Xu’s lab as a postdoctoral researcher. Over the years, my work has focused on understanding how the central nervous system regulates...

I obtained my PhD and MD from the First Hospital of Jilin University in 2019, and my work mainly focused on the immune system function in type 2 diabetes and obesity and its complications such as diabetic kidney disease. In 2025, I joined Dr. Xu’s lab as a visiting scholar to further explore how the...

I am a postdoctoral fellow at the University of South Florida with a background in biomedical sciences and neuroscience. I earned my PhD in Neuroscience, where I studied neuronal mechanisms underlying body weight regulation, and continued my postdoctoral training in Houston before moving to Florida...

I studied clinical medicine at Chongqing Medical University, followed by a master’s degree and a PhD degree in cardiology from Yangzhou University, during which I investigated acute kidney injury and stress-induced cardiomyopathy. These projects provided me with extensive training in cardiovascular...
