Dr Ying Xi is an assistant professor in the School of Life Science and Technology at ShanghaiTech University and has worked on lung regeneration and lung fibrosis. She received her PhD from Shanghai Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, working on Wnt signaling pathway. She completed her postdoctoral training at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF), focusing on lung regeneration and fibrosis. After that, she worked on target identification for fibrotic diseases at Genentech Inc. before she established an independent lab at ShanghaiTech University. Her work has identified the distal airway progenitors that are involved in alveolar repair after severe injury, characterized the WISP1-MRTF signaling axis that drives fibrosis progression and dissected the macrophage-fibroblast crosstalk in lung fibrosis.
