About Feifei Xiao

Dr. Feifei Xiao joined in the department as a tenured Associate Professor with the AI Initiative hire in 2022. Dr. Xiao’s research interests are single-cell sequencing (DNA & RNA & ATACseq), spatial omics and integration of multi-omics using traditional statistical modeling plus the power from arising AI techniques such as deep learning. Mendelian randomization is also a useful statistical approach to explore the causal effect from risk factors on human diseases. Dr. Xiao is interested in developing multi-variate MR framework that will disentangle the complex mechnisms underlying diseases. Dr. Xiao’s ultimate goal is toward personalized medicine, specifically for cancer and other common complex diseases. In her personal time, she enjoys taking her toddler and dog to hike and parks.
