Ninety-eight percent of the human genome is noncoding and contains regulatory elements that control gene expression and guide human development. These regions play a critical role in health and are frequent sites of genetic alterations linked to diseases such as infections and cancer. The Xie Lab is dedicated to advancing understanding of the structure, dynamics and mechanisms of the human regulatory genome to improve the diagnosis, prevention and treatment of disease. Our research integrates the development of novel molecular tools with super-resolution imaging, high-throughput functional genomics, advanced deep learning and computational methods, and diverse preclinical models. Through this multidisciplinary approach, we aim to uncover the fundamental principles of genome regulation in both health and disease. As a Research Technician on our team, you will perform laboratory techniques and procedures for assigned experimental studies, assist with scheduling analyses and conduct tests utilizing various equipment and instrumentation.
