Xiao Li, PhD

Precise regulation of gene expression programs underlies homeostasis of various types of cardiac and immune cells in the human heart. Disruption of such intricate programs often imbalances the fibrotic and immune microenvironment in heart failure. My lab utilizes cutting-edge technologies including single-cell genomics and genome editing to explore novel mechanisms that control these programs. By understanding the diverse genomic and cellular responses to heart injury in individual patients, we aim to improve the prevention of heart failure and develop personalized treatments to enhance recovery.
