Summary
Tianyi Xia is a pharmaceutical sciences PhD candidate and MS student with a strong experimental toolkit—oxygraph, PCR, NMR, HPLC, and flash chromatography—and roughly 4–5 years of hands-on lab experience augmented by nine years of overall professional experience. They have driven independent projects from design through presentation and publication, contributing co-authored data to a JoVE article and earning a Senior Research Award for work on liver mitochondria. Comfortable bridging bench work and collaboration, Tianyi has experience leading peers as a student supervisor and orienting new students as a Spartan Leader, showing both technical rigor and people skills. Currently studying regulatory science at USC, they are focused on clinical drug development and innovative chemical synthesis, combining analytical depth with an eye toward translational impact. An understated strength is their ability to learn diverse techniques quickly—evidenced by cross-disciplinary stints in plant biology and mitochondrial research—making them adaptable in multidisciplinary drug development teams.
