Wei XIE

Wei XIE is a Faculty member in the School of Life Sciences at Tsinghua University. He holds a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from the Laboratory of Michael Grunstein at UCLA, where he also earned an M.S. in Statistics. Following postdoctoral research at UCLA and the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, he joined Tsinghua University in 2013. His research focuses on epigenetic regulation of transcription in the mammalian genome, with an emphasis on DNA methylation, chromatin modifications, and their roles in development and disease. His work integrates molecular biology, genomics, and bioinformatics to study mechanisms underlying early development and cell fate determination.

Wei Xie is a researcher in the School of Life Sciences at Tsinghua University, specializing in epigenetics, genomics, transcription, and development. Their work focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying epigenetic regulation and its role in cellular differentiation and development. Xie's research integrates genomic and epigenomic approaches to investigate chromatin structure, DNA methylation, and histone modifications during critical developmental processes. Key studies include the analysis of 3D chromatin organization, epigenetic reprogramming, and the role of histone modifications in early mammalian development. Their research has contributed to understanding how epigenetic changes influence gene expression and cellular identity.
