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 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 Krukuff at University of Alberta in Canada (2002-2006) to study the neural mechanisms for blood pressure...

I received my B.S. in 1995 from Huazhong University of Science and Technology in Wuhan, China, and earned my Ph.D. in 2006 from the Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology. Following this, I moved to Houston, Texas, where I joined Dr. Qiang Tong’s lab at the Children’s Nutrition Research...

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...

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...

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...

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.

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...
