Summary

Rockstar🎓
Top SchoolTao Wei is a postdoctoral researcher based in Dallas with a decade of hands-on experience in cancer biology, single-cell genomics, and preclinical modeling. At UT Southwestern he built single-cell expression atlases from patient-derived melanoma across primary, circulating, and metastatic sites and used those data to define biomarker-stratified tumor subpopulations validated by flow cytometry. His work bridges computational analysis and experimental biology, including CRISPR and lentiviral engineering of fluorescent reporters, 3D organoids, PDX and syngeneic mouse studies to track tumor growth and metastasis. During his PhD at UW–Madison he developed novel in vivo papillomavirus-driven head and neck cancer models and uncovered IQGAP1- and splicing-related therapeutic targets via proteomics and signaling studies. Colleagues note his ability to run complex multidisciplinary projects end-to-end—from sequencing analysis to functional validation—while fostering strong collaborations that led to multiple publications. Beyond the bench, he brings a pragmatic, systems-minded approach to translating molecular insights into actionable therapeutic hypotheses.
