Dr. Xiaojie Qiu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Genetics at Stanford University, with a courtesy appointment in the Department of Computer Science. His Ph.D. from the University of Washington focused on single-cell genomics and led to significant advancements in pseudotemporal trajectory analysis with Monocle 2 and Monocle 3. Xiaojie completed his postdoctoral research at the Whitehead Institute at MIT, working on RNA velocity and creating Dynamo, a toolkit for reconstructing RNA velocity vector fields. He also developed Spateo, enhancing multi-dimensional spatiotemporal modeling for high-definition spatial transcriptomics. At Stanford, Xiaojie's research aims to integrate machine learning and genomics to address critical questions in mammalian cell fate transitions, particularly in heart evolution and disease development. His work has been funded by several prestigious institutes and organizations.
