Ling Xu, Ph.D

Research Profile

The Xu lab investigates the structure, dynamics, and regulatory mechanisms of RNA and RNA–protein complexes that govern genome integrity, innate immunity, and human health. The Xu lab will combine cryo-electron microscopy (cryo-EM), biochemistry, and cell biology to visualize how RNA molecules fold, assemble with proteins, and execute complex cellular functions. By mapping these molecular interactions at high-resolution, the Xu lab aim to uncover the fundamental principles that link RNA structure to biological activity.
