Biography

Dr. Xiaowen Bai’s research interests are centered on the application of stem cells on disease modeling and tissue regeneration. Dr. Bai’s research has been documented in more than 80 research articles, reviews, and book chapters, and is focused on stem cell-based tissue regeneration, disease modeling, and drug testing. Her current major focus of the laboratory is to examine the molecular mechanisms underlying the roles of non-coding RNAs, mitochondria, and genetic factors in neurodegeneration and heart injury in mice, and translate the findings to humans using human induced pluripotent stem cell-derived 3D brain organoids and heart tissue.
