Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolShicong Xie is a postdoctoral researcher based in Palo Alto with 12 years of experience at the interface of cell biology, quantitative imaging, and computational analysis, currently studying cell size homeostasis in multicellular tissues in Dr. Jan Skotheim’s lab at Stanford. He combines live single-cell imaging in vivo and organoids with machine learning–driven image analysis to probe how stem cells regulate size, building on a PhD in Computational & Systems Biology from MIT studying mechanical coordination during morphogenesis. His background spans physics and applied mathematics (UC Berkeley) to hands-on instrument control and software development at places like Janelia, giving him a rare blend of experimental microscopy, algorithmic rigor, and quantitative thinking. Notably, he has repeatedly bridged scales—from molecular EGFR oligomerization to tissue-level forces—bringing computational tools directly into live-animal experiments.
