Guest Seminar - Psychological Stress, Neurons and Inflammation: New Romance of the Three Kingdoms

4:30pm - 6:30pm
讲者/ 表演者:
Prof. Chunliang XU
School of Life Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong

Prof. Xu joined the CUHK in May 2021 as Assistant Professor at the School of Life Sciences. Before joining CUHK, I got my Ph.D. degree at the Chinese Academy of Sciences and did my postdoctoral training at Columbia University and Albert Einstein College of Medicine in the US. I have focused my previous research on immunology and hematopoietic stem cells niche, and discovered that: 1) Psychological stress promotes vascular inflammation via gut microbiota (Immunity, 2020); 2) Sensory neurons inhibit inflammation through CGRP (JEM, 2021); 3) Environmental factors in winter induce inflammatory crisis in sickle cell disease (Nature Medicine, 2018); 4) Arterial endothelial cells regulate the maintenance and regeneration of hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow (Nature Communications, 2018). I am currently Associate Editor for Frontiers in Genetics and for Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, and a member of the International Society for Experimental Hematology and of the American Society of Hematology.
