Cheng Hu is a professor and doctoral supervisor at Shanghai Sixth People's Hospital, part of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, and works in the Shanghai Diabetes Institute. His research covers the genetics and causes of diabetes and obesity, including type 2 diabetes genetics in Chinese populations.
In the Atlas he is senior author of XIA2026, a review proposing that mTOR, AMPK, sirtuins and insulin/IGF-1 signalling work together to decide when adult stem cells rest, wake up or specialise, and that ageing upsets this balance.
