Xingcheng Lin is an Assistant Professor in the Physics Department at North Carolina State University, affiliated with the Bioinformatics Cluster of the Chancellor’s Faculty Excellence Program. He holds a Ph.D. in Biological Physics from Rice University and completed postdoctoral research at MIT's Chemistry Department. His research focuses on computational modeling of epigenetic regulation and chromatin systems, integrating principles of physics, chemistry, and biology to study genome organization and disease mechanisms. His work aims to develop predictive models for biomolecular interactions and epigenetic dysregulation treatments.
- Education:
- Ph.D., Biological Physics, Rice University (Center for Theoretical Biological Physics)
- Postdoctoral Research, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (Chemistry Department)
Research interests include chromatin dynamics, protein-DNA interactions, and the development of simulation-based tools for epigenetic analysis. His computational approaches address questions in genome architecture, epigenetic regulation, and biomedical applications. Recent studies explore nucleosome interactions, T-cell receptor specificity prediction, and the role of chromatin structure in disease.
Publications highlight advancements in chromatin modeling, T-cell specificity algorithms, and biomolecular simulation techniques. These studies bridge theoretical frameworks with experimental data to advance understanding of complex biological systems. Collaborative efforts span computational biology, structural biology, and biophysics.
Labs and teams: Part of the Lin Research Group at NC State, located in the Physics Department and Bioinformatics Research Center. The group emphasizes interdisciplinary approaches to genome and epigenome studies.
