Xue Huang

Xue Huang, PhD, is a part-time Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at the University of Southern California. His research focuses on epigenetic regulation of immune cell development and function, with a particular emphasis on histone modifications and their implications in hematopoiesis, B-cell and T-cell biology, and antiviral immunity. He has expertise in vaccine development and leverages stem cell biology to explore immune system interactions.

Huang's educational background includes a PhD in a relevant field (degree details not explicitly provided). His work examines mechanisms controlling immune cell differentiation, including natural killer cells, dendritic cells, and macrophages, as well as the role of proteins like MYSM1 and A20 in immune regulation. He investigates translational applications such as improving dendritic cell vaccine efficacy against hepatitis C and HIV, and developing DNA-based cancer immunotherapies.

His publications from 2009–2015 consistently address epigenetic pathways in immune contexts, highlighting interdisciplinary approaches between immunology and molecular biology. While no specific grants or awards are listed, his research demonstrates contributions to understanding fundamental immune processes with potential clinical applications.
