    Ning is now working on the mouse models to elucidate the significance of regulation of p53 by acetylation.

  • Zhenyi Su

    Associate research scientist

    zs2391@cumc.columbia.edu

    Zhenyi obtained his Ph.D. degree at Beijing Normal University in 2012. He joined Gu lab in April 2018. His researches in Gu lab are focused on cancer metastasis as well as ferroptosis. He discovered that BACH1 and LSD2 are specific mediators for hotspot p53 mutant (p53R175H)-induced premetastatic activity (Nature cancer, 2023).

  • Zhangchuan Xia

    Associate research scientist

    zx2264@cumc.columbia.edu

    Zhangchuan is now investigating the transactivation mechanism of p53 regulated by its cofactors - proteins or non-coding RNAs. He applies multiple biochemical purification methods to approach p53 interacting networks and functional consequences. Before joining Gu lab, he obtained his PhD in medical virology at Wuhan University.
