Andrew Xiao is an Associate Professor in the Department of Genetics at Yale University School of Medicine, where he is also a member of the Yale Stem Cell Center. His research focuses on the epigenetic regulation of pluripotent stem cells, including embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSC). Dr. Xiao's laboratory has contributed significantly to our understanding of the maintenance of pluripotency, with recent discoveries of novel epigenetic mechanisms such as N6-methyl-adenine in mammalian genomes. He obtained his Ph.D. from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, followed by postdoctoral training at Rockefeller University. His work has been recognized with several prestigious awards, including the NCI Howard Temin Award and the New Scholar Award from the Ellison Medical Foundation. Dr. Xiao's interests encompass the roles of histone variants, cellular reprogramming, and the implications of DNA damage and chromatin structure in stem cell biology and disease.
