XIAO LAB @ UCLA

​RNA Bioinformatics, Genomics and Biology

Our lab develops and applies computational, bioinformatic and experimental approaches to generate and analyze large-scale genomic and transcriptomic data sets, combined with in-depth molecular and mechanistic studies.  
  • Our work aims to achieve a better understanding of RNA splicing, RNA modification and post-transcriptional regulation in health and disease. 
  • We make extensive use of second and third generation sequencing technologies that have transformed modern biology to an information-rich science. 
  • We develop bioinformatic methods and experimental innovations that build upon RNA-seq, CLIP-seq, massively parallel reporter assays, single cell -omics and other high-throughput technologies.
  • We are particularly interested in applying bioinformatic and experimental methods to study neuropsychiatric disorders and cancer.
  • Our lab has two components: a computational (dry) lab and an experimental (wet) lab.

               A combination of computational and experimental research

Picture
On the computational side (dry lab):
  • ​Computational methodology development
  • Bioinformatic large-scale data analyses​
  • Statistical modeling and predictions
Picture
​On the experimental side (wet lab):
  • High-throughput genomic technology development
  • Large-scale data generation
  • Molecular and cell biology experiments ​

We are recruiting!


We are actively in search of motivated talents (postdocs, graduate students, and undergraduate students) to join us for our adventure.
