主讲嘉宾:  Dr. Xiaonan Xin

主讲题目:iPS derived human skeletal tissue and perspective for drug evaluation in vivo

Dr. Xin graduated from Gannan Medical College, Jiangxi, China and had practiced as a physician for five years before she studied for the Master degree at Sun Yat-sen University of Medical Science, Guangzhou, China. With the full support of Japanese Governmental Scholarship, she studied for three years and obtained her Ph.D. at Tokushima University School of Medicine in Japan.  Thereafter, Dr. Xin received her postdoctoral training for three years at Albert Einstein School of Medicine in New York where she obtained the NIH Scientific Foundation Poster Awards. She joined the MEMORY Pharmaceuticals Corp., and appointed as a Research Scientist after postdoc training. She identified tissue specific alternative splicing transcription sites, which is important for the drug development that the company was working on. Her great contributions on the discovery for Memory Pharmaceutical Corp. made her the first author of the first U.S. patent for the company, and made her the recipient of Special Achievement Award issued by company.

 

 

 

主讲嘉宾:Siyuan Wang Ph.D.

主讲题目:Multiplexed DNA tracing and RNA profiling in single cells with sequential FISH

Dr. Wang is a Jane Coffin Childs Fellow working in Professor Xiaowei Zhuang’s lab at Harvard University.His research in Zhuang lab has focused on the  development and application of advanced imaging technologies. His first postdoctoral paper (PNAS, 2014) introduced the best photoactivatable fluorescent protein, named mMaple3, for single-molecule based superresolution imaging (STORM/PALM). The work also established the criteria for evaluating novel fluorescent proteins for superresolution imaging. Next, Their work developing a highly-multiplexed RNA fluorescence in situ hybridization technique enabled localized detection and quantification of 1000 different RNA species in a single cell (Science, 2015). Several other works are currently in press or under review.
