Xinyu Zhao is a Professor in the Department of Neuroscience at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms that regulate brain development. His research is centered on the transcriptional and post-transcriptional mechanisms that affect neural stem cells and their roles in brain development and related disorders. He employs a diverse range of model systems, including human pluripotent stem cells, brain organoids, transgenic mice, and ex vivo brain slice cultures, to investigate these processes. His work utilizes cutting-edge techniques such as single-cell genetic analysis, genomic and proteomic profiling, as well as imaging and behavioral methods to interrogate the roles of genes and epigenetic regulators in brain development. Zhao's research has significant implications for human neurodevelopmental disorders, including Fragile X syndrome, Autism, and Rett Syndrome.
