Xuejun Jiang

Xuejun Jiang is a Professor and Lab Head at the Cell Biology Program of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), holding the Virginia and Daniel K. Ludwig Chair. His research focuses on programmed cell death mechanisms, particularly apoptosis and ferroptosis, and their implications in cancer biology and metabolic diseases.

Key research areas include:

• Molecular basis of autophagy and its role in cancer
• Interplay between cellular metabolism and death/survival signaling
• Regulation of ferroptosis by cadherin-mediated interactions
• Translational applications of cell death mechanisms for cancer therapy

His publications (2019-2023) reveal expertise in ferroptosis regulation, lipid metabolism, YAP/TEAD signaling, and tumor microenvironment interactions, with studies appearing in Cell, Nature, and Cancer Cell. Awards include the Louis and Allston Boyer Young Investigator Award and V Scholar recognition. Current lab members span graduate students, research fellows, and alumni now in academic/industry positions.
