Dr. Hannes Vogel's chief research interests are in mitochondrial diseases, muscle and nerve diseases, brain tumors, and animal models of human disease. Dr. Vogel is also the Director of the Stanford Research Core Histology Laboratory, which is of central importance to many Stanford research endeavors and to medical scientist development.

Understanding mechanisms of metabolic regulation in physiology and disease forms the basis for developing therapies to treat diseases in which metabolism is perturbed. Dr. Haopeng Xiao devises novel mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics technologies, combined with data science, to systematically discover mechanisms of metabolic regulation over protein function. His strategies established the first tissue-specific landscape of protein cysteine redox regulation during aging, elucidating mechanisms of redox signaling in physiology that remained elusive for decades.
