Welcome to Zhichao Xu our newest Assistant Professor

The Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology is proud to welcome Dr. Zhichao Xu, our newest faculty member.  Zhichao distinguished himself from hundreds of applicants for the tenure track Assistant Professor position.  He comes to us from the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla where he worked with Dr. Jesse Dixon to investigate how structural variants in cancer genes impact their 3D genome structure and affect oncogene activation.  Some of his discoveries were recently published in Nature.  Zhichao brings to our department and the McGovern Medical School expertise in cancer genomics, genome engineering and computational biology.
