Tianchi Xin is a research scientist in Dr. Valentina Greco’s lab at Yale University. He received his Ph.D. from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, studying the regulatory mechanisms of stem cell fate and tissue structure using Drosophila as a model organism. After joining the Greco lab as a postdoc, Dr. Xin helped advance an intravital imaging approach to longitudinally track and manipulate the same cells at the single-cell level in live mice across various time scales. Using this method, he uncovered key principles of skin regeneration and oncogenesis, including the differentiation flexibility of individual stem cells, the role of mesenchymal architecture in epithelial function, and niche-dependent mechanisms of oncogenic mutation-induced tissue disruption. Dr. Xin was a New York Stem Cell Foundation Druckenmiller Fellow.
