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.

Grace Xiong, MD
Assistant Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery
BioDr. Grace Xiong is an Assistant Professor and the Patient Safety Director for the Department of Orthopaedic Surgery at Stanford Health Care. She completed her undergraduate education at Harvard College and her medical education at Stanford University. She completed residency in orthopaedic surgery (Harvard Medical School) where she was a chief resident and trained under orthopaedic leaders at Massachusetts General Hospital, Brigham and Women’s Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Hospital, and Boston Children’s Hospital. This was followed by a fellowship in spinal surgery at the Rothman Orthopaedic Institute and Jefferson University under the tutelage of world-renowned mentors including Drs. Alexander Vaccaro, Alan Hilibrand, and Christopher Kepler.
Dr. Xiong’s expertise spans the full spectrum of spinal disorders. This includes degenerative cervical, thoracic, and lumbar conditions, particularly spinal disc herniations, spinal stenosis, spinal cysts, spondylolisthesis, and spondylosis causing radiculopathy, myelopathy, claudication, and sciatica. She specializes in both minimally invasive and complex reconstructive and revision spinal surgery. She is particularly interested in the use of motion-preserving approaches to restore function, accelerate recovery, and decrease the need for future spinal surgery for patients. She was awarded the William H. Thomas award for excellence and collegiality in patient care. Patients choose Dr. Xiong for her thoughtful approach in diagnosis and careful use of surgery only when necessary.
Nationally, Dr. Xiong serves as the Associate Editor for leading medical journals in spine care including Spine and Spine Open. She also serves as the Chair of the Resident and Fellow Education Committee for the North American Spine Society and is a member of the Adult Spine Evaluation Committee for the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons.
Dr. Xiong’s main research interests stem from her careful observations of clinical gaps facing patients with spinal issues. She has over 50 peer-reviewed medical publications. Her research focuses on improving the diagnosis and treatment of patients with chronic spinal cord injury, improving clinical outcomes in spinal surgery, and improving health access and equity to spinal care. She is a member of the AO Knowledge Forum, an international research consortium of spine surgeons aimed at improving care for patients with spinal trauma or spinal infections. She is also a member of the North American Spine Society, the American Academy of Orthopaedic Surgeons, the Cervical Spine Research Society, and is an Emerging Leader of the American Orthopaedic Association. -
Sheng Xu
Professor of Anesthesiology, Perioperative & Pain Medicine (Department Research) and, by courtesy, of Electrical Engineering
BioDr. Sheng Xu is a tenured professor and the inaugural Director of Emerging Technologies in the Department of Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in Electrical Engineering. He earned his B.S. degree in Chemistry from Peking University and his Ph.D. in Materials Science and Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology. Subsequently, he pursued postdoctoral studies at the Materials Research Laboratory at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He then spent 10 years on the faculty at UC San Diego before joining Stanford in 2025. His research group is interested in developing new materials and fabrication methods for soft electronics. His research has been presented to the United States Congress as a testimony to the importance and impact of NIH funding.
