معرفی
Haopeng Xiao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biochemistry at Stanford University, with affiliations in Bio-X, the Wu Tsai Human Performance Alliance, and as a Faculty Fellow at Sarafan ChEM-H. His research program focuses on developing mass spectrometry-based proteomics technologies to investigate metabolic regulation in aging, cancer, and metabolic diseases, aiming to translate findings into therapeutic strategies.
Educational background includes:
- B.S. in Pharmaceutical Sciences & B.A. in Chinese Language and Literature from Peking University (2013)
- Ph.D. in Chemical Proteomics from Georgia Institute of Technology (2018)
- Postdoctoral training in Molecular Metabolism at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute/Harvard Medical School (2024)
Research integrates proteomics, redox biology, and data science to map metabolic regulation mechanisms. Key interests include:
- Protein-metabolite interactions in disease pathogenesis
- Tissue-specific redox signaling networks
- Genetic diversity in metabolic regulation
- Translational applications for cancer and metabolic disorders
Publications demonstrate focus on metabolic proteomics, with recent work revealing:
- Novel regulatory roles of metabolites (zinc, lactate, succinate) in cell function
- Mechanistic insights into neurodegenerative and metabolic diseases
- Development of innovative mass spectrometry methodologies
Awards and honors:
- Baxter Foundation Faculty Scholars Award (2025)
- Shmunis Family Award in Cancer Therapeutics (2025)
Research training includes mentorship of postdoctoral fellow Junyi Chen and PhD candidate Ian Ferguson. Leads the Xiao Lab launched in October 2024, focusing on chemical systems biology approaches.
