Xia Wang

Xia Wang is a Professor at the School of Criminology & Criminal Justice (CCJ) at Arizona State University. Her research focuses on synthetic biology, gene editing, and systems biology, with a particular emphasis on developing innovative genetic tools and understanding complex gene networks.

Her work spans the design of modular microbial consortia, CRISPR-based genetic modification systems, and predictive models of cellular behavior. She has pioneered techniques like PINE-TREE and TREE for efficient genome editing in human cells, and her research on gene circuits and stem cell dynamics has advanced applications in biotechnology and regenerative medicine. Key themes include synthetic gene circuit topology, stochastic control of cell fate, and the integration of mathematical modeling with experimental biology.

Publications highlight her contributions to CRISPR engineering, base editing in pluripotent stem cells, and systems-level analysis of gene networks. While no awards or grants are explicitly listed, her prolific publication record underscores her impact in synthetic biology and molecular engineering.
