Ning Xie (谢宁)

I am a Research Scientist at the University of Pennsylvania. My research focuses on understanding the genetic and molecular mechanisms underlying cardiovascular and skeletal muscular diseases, with particular emphasis on the role of non-coding variants in these conditions. With expertise in stem cell biology, single-cell techniques, CRISPR editing, and mouse modeling, I have developed an integrative approach that utilizes cutting-edge technologies to efficiently identify functional mutations and their target genes, contributing novel insights into the molecular mechanisms of these diseases. Before joining UPenn, I received my PhD in Molecular Medicine from Peking University (2015) and BS in Biology from Sichuan University (2010).
