Ning Xie

Ning Xie serves as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Advertising and Public Relations at Michigan State University, where she integrates data-intensive methodologies with public health communication frameworks.

Her research spans bioinformatics, computational epidemiology, and genomic surveillance systems, focusing on real-time analysis of viral evolution during pandemics. She develops tools for processing globally shared pathogen data to enhance public health decision-making and risk communication strategies.

Her 2022 CoV-Spectrum publication exemplifies her interdisciplinary approach, utilizing SARS-CoV-2 genomic datasets to track emerging variants through computational pipelines that bridge virology, data science, and public health policy implementation.
