Dr. Xu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine at the Tulane University School of Medicine and serves as the Director of the Pathology Bioinformatics and AI Research Center. His research focuses on developing novel bioinformatics algorithms and computational tools for analyzing large-scale genomic and multi-omics datasets, with particular expertise in high-definition (HD) spatial transcriptomics. His laboratory develops and applies advanced computational methods to analyze diverse high-throughput omics data, including bulk RNA-seq, ATAC-seq, ChIP-seq, single-cell multi-omics datasets (scRNA-seq, scATAC-seq, CITE-seq, TCR/BCR-seq, and Perturb-seq), spatial transcriptomics, and proteomics. Through these efforts, his group aims to advance the understanding of disease mechanisms and accelerate the discovery of clinically relevant biomarkers and therapeutic targets.
