Dr. Grace Xiao is a Professor in the Department of Integrative Biology and Physiology at UCLA. Her research focuses on the regulation of gene expression at the RNA level, with particular interests in pre-mRNA splicing and post-transcriptional mechanisms. Dr. Xiao's group investigates the sequence motifs and trans-acting regulatory RNA proteins that exert concerted regulation on gene expression, particularly how these processes are disrupted in disease. She utilizes high-throughput sequencing and microarray expression technologies, along with approaches from molecular biology and bioinformatics, in her research. Dr. Xiao's highlighted publications include significant contributions to understanding alternative splicing, noncoding RNAs as potential disease biomarkers, and the role of ADAR1 in multiple RNA processing pathways.
