Xu Lab

Xu group is currently focusing on :1) method development on XL-MS for structrual analysis of complex protein assembly, such as splicing complex and photosynthesis apparatus; 2) improvement on enrichment and detection of sugar-modified and lysine-methylated proteins in plants; 3) functional studies of the PTM,esp. O-GlcNAcylation, on proteins in plants. 4) Cell altas using crosslinking mass spectrometry and proximity labeling mass spectrometry.

Postdoc postion available. Please send me email if you are interested!

Lab Members

Devin Bradburn (Visitor)
Danbi Byun (Research Assistant)
I graduated from UC Davis with B.S. degree in Biotechnology with Outstanding Undergraduate Accomplishment Award from the Plant Sciences Department. I joined the Xu lab in January 2019. My research direction is adapting proteomic tools to study molecular machineries and cell atlas in plants. Before I joined Carnegie, I interned at a neurophysiology lab in UC Davis and worked at several dental offices as a predental student. In my freetime, I enjoy making pottery, traveling, and watching animal videos.
Su Hong (Research Associate)
I am a chemist by training. I have graduated from Imperial College London with BSc and ARCS in Chemistry (First Class honours), completed Master’s degree in Chemistry at Seoul National University in Korea, and earned my PhD degree in Chemistry from Stanford University. My PhD research focused on “Bioinspired Melanin Nanoparticles for Multimodality Imaging and Biocatalysis."

I joined Xu lab at Carnegie Institution for Science in February, 2019.
Malika Kaderali (Research Assistant)
I graduated from University of California, Berkeley with two degrees in Integrative Biology and Sociology at. I have been working as a medical assistant, which deals with direct patient care and preparing blood, saliva, culture, and urine specimens for further analysis. In efforts to further delve into learning more about proteomics, I joined the Xu lab in October 2019. Outside of working in the science field, I enjoy trying new foods, traveling, and playing basketball.
