During that time, she has been published on several papers to Journals including Gastroenterology, Plos One, Cancer letters, and Molecular Cancer Therapeutics. Jing Xue current research is to study the immune response and molecular mechanisms during progression of pancreas disease, especially acute and chronic pancreatitis.
