Xiaojun Xing

Xiaojun Xing is a Researcher and Co-Director of the Yale Genome Editing Center (YGEC) at Yale University's School of Medicine. Their work focuses on neurodevelopmental processes, particularly the role of neural stem cells and molecular signaling pathways in brain patterning and connectivity. Xing collaborates with leading researchers such as Anthony Koleske, Kartik Pattabiraman, and Suel-Kee Kim on projects involving prefrontal cortex development and axon guidance mechanisms.

Research interests include the interplay between retinoic acid signaling, neural stem cell behavior, and anatomical connectivity in the brain. Their studies bridge developmental biology with molecular mechanisms, leveraging genomic tools to explore how cellular scaffolds influence neural circuit formation.
