Jianxi Xiao

Ph.D., Professor

Introduction

Jianxi Xiao obtained his B.S. degree at Wuhan University in 2004, and Ph.D. degree at Rutgers University-New Brunswick, New Jersey, USA in 2009. He continued his postdoc studies at Rutgers University from 2009 to 2011. His research focused on the biophysical characterization of collagen mimetic peptides in order to elucidate the underlying mechanism of Osteogenesis Imperfecta. Dr. Xiao joined Department of Chemistry at Lanzhou University as Professor in 2012. His current research interest includes: Biophysical characterization of proteins and peptides, Protein-templated biomineralization, Protein and peptide-based materials for tissue regeneration, and Novel assays for the detection of protein biomarkers.
