معرفی
Yang Xiao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and Clinical Laboratories at the University of Michigan Medical School, with affiliate roles in Biomedical Engineering and Computational Medicine and Bioinformatics. Her research focuses on molecular pathogenesis and bioengineering to study cerebral microenvironment changes post-traumatic brain injury, integrating spatial transcriptomics, epigenomics, and proteomics to map brain cellular landscapes.
Education includes a BSc in Molecular Biology from McGill University (Canada), PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Yale University under Dr. Rong Fan, and postdoctoral work at Columbia University in Systems Neuroscience/Gene Editing with Dr. Kam Leong.
Research interests span spatial systems biology, gene regulatory mechanisms, and translational bioengineering. Current projects aim to uncover molecular pathways linking traumatic brain injury to mood disorders using multi-omics approaches.
Her work bridges clinical pathology and computational systems biology, with a focus on developing novel diagnostic tools through spatial systems analysis. Active collaborations include the Single Cell Spatial Analysis Program.
