Overview

Huaigeng Xu was born in China and grew up in Japan.
He obtained his MD and PhD in Japan and recently started working at UCSF from March 2020.

During his PhD, he generated low immunogenicity iPS cells by disrupting HLA genes via CRISPR-Cas9 based genome-editing (Xu et al, Cell Stem Cell, 2019).
During this work, he learned iPS cell culture and differentiation to blood cells, CRISPR-Cas9 genome editing, immunology (e.g. T cells, NK cells and immune rejection) and basic mouse experiments.

His personal interest is aging, and his ultimate goal in the future is to solve age-related health problems and manage his longevity.
He speaks both Japanese and Chinese, and he is willing to interact with a lot of people.

Interests

Aging, Immunology, Genome editing, Exosomal PD-L1, APCs, Senescence, HLA, Transplant Rejection

Publications listed below are automatically derived from MEDLINE/PubMed and other sources, which might result in incorrect or missing publications. Researchers can login to make corrections and additions, or contact us for help. to make corrections and additions.

Altmetrics Details

PMC Citations indicate the number of times the publication was cited by articles in PubMed Central, and the Altmetric score represents citations in news articles and social media. (Note that publications are often cited in additional ways that are not shown here.) Fields are based on how the National Library of Medicine (NLM) classifies the publication's journal and might not represent the specific topic of the publication. Translation tags are based on the publication type and the MeSH terms NLM assigns to the publication. Some publications (especially newer ones and publications not in PubMed) might not yet be assigned Field or Translation tags.) Click a Field or Translation tag to filter the publications.
