Biography

Hua Xiao is a Professor in the Department of Physiology at Michigan State University. With a strong focus on molecular medical genetics, Xiao's research encompasses the mechanisms of gene expression and regulation in multicellular organisms, particularly during normal cell differentiation and immune responses. His work sheds light on how the disruption of these processes, including the roles of oncogenes and tumor suppressors, can lead to human diseases such as cancer. He has made significant contributions to understanding the molecular roles of transcription cofactors, particularly the tumor suppressors TIP30 and NCOA5. His laboratory investigates how these cofactors help maintain normal developmental processes and how they influence tumorigenesis. Additionally, ongoing studies aim to elucidate the mechanisms by which NCOA5 and TIP30 regulate immunosuppressive responses in liver cancers, enhancing our understanding of sex disparities in such diseases.
