个人简介
Xu still works on bone regeneration, using stem cells and a scaffolding material to rebuild bone lost through trauma, disease, and tumor removal. His lab is working with stem cells from umbilical cord waste, which are promising for bone regeneration, and embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells, which could potentially turn back the cells’ clock for older patients.
To fully appreciate Xu’s accomplishments, one needs to understand his upbringing in China during the Cultural Revolution of the 1960s and ‘70s. The Xus lived in a small village where people earned a livelihood by working in the fields. Universities were closed in China from 1966 to 1976, reopening when Deng Xiaoping emerged as the country’s de facto leader in 1977, three years before Xu began his university education.
“A student had to be the absolute top of the class to go to college,” Xu says. “In my high school class of about 200 students, only about 10 of us got to college at graduation.”
But Xu, who came to the U.S. in 1988 to pursue his PhD, already had an exceptional education—thanks to his parents. “My father was a construction worker who never went to school,” Xu recalls. “But both he and my mother, who only finished elementary school, emphasized the importance of hard work and education. My two younger brothers and I all graduated from college.”
As someone who never took his own schooling for granted, Xu believes the future of American education is bright, predicting that the country will maintain its innovative advantage in science and technology, with some of the best universities―and students―in the world.
“A great thing about the United States is that she welcomes promising students from other countries,” he says. “This brings new talent, new blood, and new energy to the large talent pool already here.”
