Pediatric Dentistry
My research interests include investigating oral health disparities among Asian American populations, children’s temperament and parenting styles and how this affects acceptance of dental treatment, and having a better understanding of medically complex pediatric patients and oral health considerations.
Pediatric Anesthesiologist at CHOP Seeking Motivated Students Interested in Biomedical Research
Research position for motivated undergraduate student interested in topics on EEG signal processing, machine learning, biomedical informatics to improve outcomes, or hospital sustainability topics.
Intestinal homeostasis, inflammation, and cancer: From in vivo studies to cellular and molecular mechanisms
Join us to study how the local tissue microenvironment controls homeostasis and disease in the gut, with in vivo, in vitro, and in silico approaches.
Microbial Genomics and Microbiomics
Join the CHOP Microbiome Sequencing Core and the microbialARC initiative, focusing on establishing a comprehensive strain repository. Our research spans bacterial pathogenesis, microbe-microbe interactions, and microbial evolution.
Improving Obstetric Anesthesia Procedures
Improving obstetric anesthesia procedures
Cellular therapies for cancer
Dr. Xu’s lab is dedicated to developing immunotherapies using engineered gamma delta T cells, extracellular vesicles, and nanoparticles to treat melanoma and other skin conditions.
Mechanisms of tendon and ligament injury, healing, repair, and regeneration
The overall goals of our research program are to determine fundamental relationships and mechanisms of tendon and ligament injury, healing, repair, and regeneration and to use this information to develop and evaluate potential treatment modalities.
Functional Genomics of Brain Aging and Neurodegenerative Disease
Experimental or computational research opportunity in the Haney Lab to study brain aging and neurodegenerative disease (haneylab.org)
Equine viral hepatitis laboratory
Our lab focuses on recently discovered liver viruses in equids including Equine parvovirus-hepatitis, Equine hepacivirus, and Equid hepadnavirus. We are characterizing the routes of transmission, disease associations, and pathogenesis of each virus with a goal to develop treatment and prevention approaches.
Pediatric hematology
My laboratory studies how the innate immune system works with the thrombotic syndrome to control the spread of infection. We are interested in how these interactions influence outcomes in sepsis but also contribute to the development of autoimmune and inflammatory disorders.
