Introduction

Dr. Xushen Xiong completed his undergraduate study at Huazhong University of Science and Technology, and obtained his PhD degree at Peking University in 2019, after which he joined MIT Computer Science & Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) for a postdoc training. He joined Zhejiang University School of Medicine Liangzhu Laboratory in 2022 as a Principal Investigator for his independent research.

Dr. Xushen Xiong has been devoted to explore the biological mechanisms of epitranscriptomics and epigenomics in human polygenic diseases using interdisciplinary approaches, including statistical genetics, artificial intelligence (AI), and experimental biology. His research aims to provide multiple levels of molecular targets for the prediction, molecular diagnosis, and treatment of polygenic diseases. Dr. Xiong has published papers in journals such as Cell, Nature Genetics (2 papers), Nature Machine Intelligence, and Cell Genomics, as a corresponding or first author (including co-first).
