Dr. Dakang Xu is Professor at Shanghai Jiao Tong University and Institute of Ageing Research, Hangzhou Normal University, China. The main focus of his research team is to used a combination of genetically modified mouse models of disease, cell signalling, bioinformatics analyses and clinical applications, to understand the mechanisms of regulation of epigenetic factors in inflammatory signalling. He has also studied how modulation of the activity ofthose key factors affects the inflammatory response and tumour progression, through the function of immune cell subsets and cytokines in cancer and inflammatory diseases. This work has led to 50 peer-reviewed publications in high impact journals, including Nature Immunology , Immunity , Nature Communications , PNAS and Cancer Research . See less
