About the Group （课题组简介）
Prof. Xu has interacted with international research teams and thought-leaders in the past 8 years to solve challenges in health, medicine, energy and environment. Professor Xu will join GTIIT, as an Associate professor of Guangdong-Technion Chemical Engineering program in Spring 2021. He was an Assistant Professor at the Department of Chemical, Biochemical and Environmental Engineering at University of Maryland Baltimore County from 2016 to 2020. He obtained his PhD in Chemical and Biological Engineering from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (2013) and completed his postdoc training in the Stephanopoulos lab at MIT (2016).
Dr. Xu has received a number of awards and recognitions, including the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad (2012), the Bill & Melinda Gates Award (2018), the Biotechnology & Bioengineering (B&B) Daniel IC Wang Award (2020). He served in the editorial board for the journal Metabolic Engineering (IF = 7.3) and the journal Current Opinion in Biotechnology (IF = 8.3). Professor Xu published more than 65 journal articles with a google scholar citation of 3570 and an H-index of 29, on world-leading journals including Nature Biotechnology, Nature Communications, Nature Chemical Biology, Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences, Trends in Biotechnology, Metabolic Engineering, Biotechnology & Bioengineering, Current Opinion in Biotechnology and ACS Synthetic Biology et al.
Project Details
The SBIC-Lab, led by Professor Xu, focuses on applying chemical engineering analysis, control theory, molecular tools and computational models to decode biological intelligence, drive the convergence of synthetic biology and artificial design for green manufacturing, better health and medicine. The research team will focus on (1) Decoding biological intelligence for cellular design and computation; (2) Microbial metabolic engineering for manufacturing value-added compounds; (3) Understanding the interplay of antimicrobial resistance and gut microbiota; (4) Microbiome, natural products and precision medicine et al.
The research topics of the positions include:
Chemical biology, molecular biology and genetic engineering;
Feedback control theory, gene circuits and bio-intelligent design;
Bio-computing based on biochemical reaction network;
Yeast genome engineering and genome evolution;
Natural product synthesis and human/animal gut health;
C1 feedstock utilization.
Keywords
