\"Dr.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jie Xu
\n<\/strong>Assistant Professor, Biomedical Sciences
\nBiochemistry, Cell Biology, Immunology & Neuroscience<\/p>\n

<\/em>Education
\n<\/strong>PhD, Neuroscience, McGill University (Canada), 2016<\/p>\n

Past Experience
\n<\/strong>After earning his PhD, Dr. Xu completed his postdoctoral training at the University of Michigan and was on Michigan\u2019s faculty before joining the Department of Biomedical Sciences at Iowa State University.<\/p>\n

Research
\n<\/strong>Dr. Xu\u2019s lab studies how inflammation and the innate immune system are regulated at the molecular level. Xu says \u201cinflammation protects us from infection and injury, but when it goes out of control, it can lead to many diseases.\u201d Dr. Xu focuses on the NLRP3 inflammasome, a key player in inflammation and a potential therapeutic target.<\/p>\n

Interesting Fact
\n<\/strong>Dr. Xu\u2019s work looks to understand how the NLRP3 inflammasome is activated and explore its role in Alzheimer\u2019s disease.<\/p>\n

Dr. Xu says\u2026
\n<\/strong>\u201cInflammation is something we all experience, yet the molecular details behind it are still not fully understood. I\u2019m fascinated by how these processes work and motivated by the potential to uncover new ways to treat inflammation-related diseases.\u201d<\/p>\n
