Research
Dr. Xu's laboratory is interested in the molecular and cellular biology of cancer, with a focus on lung carcinogenesis induced by environmental and occupational carcinogens. A major goal of the lab is to identify novel molecular mechanisms underlying carcinogenesis and cancer progression. The laboratory employs various state-of-the-art molecular, cellular, and genetic tools, as well as mouse models, to achieve its research goals.
