Xiaojun Huang

MD, PhD

Prof. Xiaojun Huang is one of China's most distinguished haematologists, serving as Professor, Chief Physician, and Director of the Department of Hematology at Peking University People's Hospital in Beijing. He is also Director of the Peking University Institute of Hematology and Director of the National Clinical Research Center for Hematologic Diseases, and was elected an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2023.

With more than 37 years of clinical and research experience at Peking University People's Hospital, Prof. Huang has dedicated his career to the treatment of leukemia and malignant blood diseases through haematopoietic stem cell transplantation. He is internationally recognised as the creator of the 'Beijing Protocol,' a haploidentical bone marrow transplantation approach that expanded related-donor availability from under 25% to nearly 100% for patients who lack a fully matched sibling donor. His team's ongoing research continues to refine donor selection, transplant safety, and long-term outcomes β€” including 2026 multicenter evidence in severe aplastic anemia demonstrating that donor age may outweigh full HLA matching in certain transplant settings. In 2024, Prof. Huang received the CIBMTR Distinguished Service Award for his contributions to international haematology and blood and marrow transplantation.

Frequently Asked Questions About Prof. Xiaojun Huang

Prof. Huang is internationally recognised for developing the Beijing Protocol β€” a haploidentical bone marrow transplantation approach that expanded related-donor availability from under 25% to nearly 100% for patients who lack a fully HLA-matched sibling donor. He was elected an Academician of the Chinese Academy of Engineering in 2023 and received the CIBMTR Distinguished Service Award in 2024.

Prof. Huang specialises in leukemia β€” including acute myeloid leukemia (AML) and acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) β€” other malignant haematologic diseases, and severe aplastic anaemia. His official hospital profile confirms a long-term focus on leukemia and conditions requiring haematopoietic stem cell transplantation.

The Beijing Protocol is a haploidentical bone marrow transplantation strategy developed by Prof. Huang and his team. It uses an unmanipulated approach β€” without in-vitro T-cell depletion β€” combined with G-CSF and ATG-based conditioning. The protocol transformed haploidentical transplantation from a high-risk alternative into a widely used treatment model, and is now applied at transplant centres globally.

Yes. The Beijing Protocol was specifically designed to help patients who do not have a fully HLA-matched sibling donor. By using haploidentical (half-matched) relatives β€” such as parents, children, or siblings β€” as donors, the approach has made transplantation accessible to nearly all patients who require it, subject to clinical eligibility and case review.
