He received his B.S. in Molecular and Cellular Biology and B.E. in Computer Science and Technology in 2001 from the University of Science and Technology of China. He completed his Ph.D. training in Bioinformatics with Dr. Christopher Lee at the University of California, Los Angeles (2001-2006), and his postdoctoral training with Drs. Wing Hung Wong and Matthew Scott at the Stanford University (2006-2007). Dr. Xing has published extensively on genome-scale analysis of mammalian gene expression and RNA splicing. His group is currently combining genomic, bioinformatic, and molecular approaches to study variations of pre-mRNA processing within and between species. His research spans the areas of bioinformatics, genomics, evolutionary biology, and medical genetics.
