Xincheng Wu is a Ph.D. candidate in Molecular Nutrition at Cornell University. His research focuses on understanding how mRNA translation is regulated under metabolic stress, particularly how arginine availability influences protein synthesis and cell metabolism. He combines techniques such as ribosome profiling, confocal microscopy, and proteomics to uncover molecular mechanisms that link translation control to cancer cell growth. His work also explores how tumor-derived mRNAs are translated in normal somatic cells to advance mRNA-based immunotherapies

Nicholas is a Ph.D. candidate in Nutrition for Metabolic Health, working with Dr. Meng Wang. He earned a B.S. in Food Science and Technology with a minor in Chemistry from the University of California, Davis. Nicholas’ research interests focus on how metabolic processes influence disease development, with a particular focus on cancer and accelerated aging. In Dr. Meng Wang’s lab, Nicholas investigates aldehydes as a metabolic source of DNA damage and examines the mechanisms underlying
