Current Lab Members
Yanmei joined Dr. Xu's lab in August 2006. She received her PhD degree from Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, in July 2006. Her research work is on mouse embryonic stem cells and she is currently characterizing the role of some conserved candidate fertility factors in this cell line.
Chirag joined this lab in June 2006. He received his PhD from University of Mumbai, India, in April 2006, where he was working on identification and characterization of nongenomic progesterone binding sites in human testis and spermatozoa. Chirag is currently involved in characterizing mouse mutations disrupting conserved candidate fertility factors.
Mike joined the lab in June 2007. He received a BA from Northwestern University in June 2004. He
is studying the role of the conserved meiotic regulator boule in germ cell development and meiosis.
Past Lab Members
Villian joined Dr. Xu’s lab in 2006 as a staff research associate. He received a bachelor of arts degree from Case Western Reserve University. He characterized mouse mutations disrupting conserved candidate fertility factors, and is kind to children and small animals – especially mice.
Yin Wang joined Dr. Xu’s lab in Aug 2006. She received her PhD degree from Kobe University in Japan, where her research focused on molecular mechanisms of growth and apoptosis in human uterine leiomyoma cells and the effect of GnRHa on growth and apoptosis in uterine leiomyoma cells. In the Xu lab, she worked on the roles of highly conserved regulators and stem cells during tumorigenesis of reproductive cancers in women.
Terrance Lee joined Dr. Xu's lab in June 2006. He is currently pursuing a Bachelor of Arts in biology at Northwestern University. His research focused on bioinformatics analyses of the gene trap database and evolution of the Daz family. He is also currently the webmaster for the Xu website. His in-house SpiderGene program can be found here.
