Haopeng Xiao
Assistant Professor of Biochemistry
BioUnderstanding mechanisms of metabolic regulation in physiology and disease forms the basis for developing therapies to treat diseases in which metabolism is perturbed. We devise novel mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics technologies, combined with data science, to systematically discover mechanisms of metabolic regulation over protein function. Our strategies established the first tissue-specific landscape of protein cysteine redox regulation during aging, elucidating mechanisms of redox signaling in physiology that remained elusive for decades. We also leverage the genetic diversity of outbred populations to systematically annotate protein function and protein-metabolite co-regulation. The aim of our research program is to develop next-generation MS-based strategies to understand mechanisms of metabolic regulation in aging, metabolic disease, and cancer, and to use this knowledge as a basis to develop translational therapeutics.

Lulu Xing
Affiliate,
BioLulu received her undergraduate degree in Biomedicine from the University of Melbourne in Melbourne, Australia. In December 2016, Lulu was awarded a PhD degree in neuroscience from the Florey Institute of Neuroscience and Mental Health, the University of Melbourne, where she identified a major under-appreciated role for subventricular zone-derived neural precursor cells in the process of myelin regeneration after demyelinating injury. Since late 2016, Lulu worked at Australian Regenerative Medicine Institute, Monash University as a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Tobias Merson’s group, with a focus on developing mouse models to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying myelination mediated by distinct types of endogenous brain stem cells in health and disease. In particular, Lulu developed a novel mouse model of conditional OPC ablation, which could be adopted in different neurological contexts to further advance our knowledge and understanding of OPC biology. Lulu joined the Petritsch lab in late October 2022 as a research scientist, seeking to understand the role of OPCs in the development of glioma as tumour-initiating cells and how they are regulated by complex interactions with several cell types within the tumour microenvironment, using a combination of transgenic mouse models, advanced imaging techniques and single cell biology approaches.
