Xin Huang
RESEARCH ASSISTANT PROFESSOR
[email protected]
Xin joined the Wang lab in 2020. He received his Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. His research focuses on cancer biology, single-cell sequencing, and the mechanism of hemostasis regulation under pathological conditions. Primarily, he uses single-cell sequencing to analyze the role of microRNAs in cancer biology. With a calibrate automatic thrombogram (CAT) method, he is also interested in developing some novel methods and techniques to study hemostasis under normal and pathological conditions.
