Social Position

Research Areas

The Xu Lab focuses on the development and functions of both traditional and non-traditional clearance systems in the body. The current research directions include uncovering the specialization mechanisms and novel functions of scavenger endothelial cells, as well as dissecting the lineage development and functions of classical innate immune cells. In recent years, he has published multiple research articles as corresponding or co-corresponding author in journals such as PNAS, Science Advances, eLife, and Development.
