Residency training in Anatomic Pathology, Washington University School of Medicine. Fellowship in Pulmonary and Mediastinal Pathology, Armed Forces Institute of Pathology. Board certified in Anatomic Pathology. My primary clinical interests are in pulmonary and mediastinal pathology.
My research is focused on delineating the mechanisms in the regulation of voltage-gated potassium channels underlying the cardiac repolarization. Ongoing studies are focused on defining the functional roles of filamin C, an actin binding protein, in the regulation of both voltage-gated potassium channels and cardiac contraction. In addition, my interests also include molecular mechanisms of lung tumor and fibrosing interstitial pneumonia.

Arrhythmias remain a major health problem, causing at least 250,000 deaths annually in the United States. Dr. Xu's long term goal is to elucidate molecular signaling pathways involving the development of cardiac arrhythmias so that therapeutic targets for treatment and/or prevention can be identified. It has been shown that p90 ribosomal S6 kinase (p90RSK) activity is significantly increased in different types of cardiac diseases, in which QT-interval is prolonged, increasing the frequency of cardiac arrhythmia. In his lab, he has been exploiting a sophisticated combination of biochemical, electrophysiological and molecular techniques to define the molecular mechanism by which activation of p90RSK prolongs cardiac repolarization.
This mechanism would potentially predispose to arrhythmias via phosphorylating Kv4.3 alpha subunit, one main component of transient outward K+ current (Ito,f) channel and thus inhibiting this channel activity. Ongoing interests include studies focused on defining the functional roles of two delayed rectifier K+ currents, IKr and IKs modulation by p90RSK in the development of cardiac arrhythmias in diabetic cardiomyopathy and cardiac ischemia/reperfusion.
