Yang Xiao is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and Clinical Laboratories at the University of Michigan Medical School and an Affiliate Faculty Member in Biomedical Engineering, Computational Medicine, and Bioinformatics. A molecular pathologist and bioengineer, his research aims to understand cellular changes in cerebral microenvironments following traumatic brain injury. Dr. Xiao's work integrates spatial transcriptomic, epigenomic, and proteomic data to build a comprehensive cellular 'Google Map' of the brain, uncovering the gene regulatory control mechanisms involved in injury remodeling and mood disorders. He completed his undergraduate studies in Molecular Biology at McGill University, Canada, followed by a Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering at Yale University under the mentorship of Dr. Rong Fan. His postdoctoral work was in Systems Neuroscience and Gene Editing at Columbia University, where he worked with Dr. Kam Leong.
