Biography
Dr. Xiaoyuan Song obtained bachelor and master degrees from Beijing Normal University in 1996 and 1999, respectively. In 2006, she obtained Ph. D degree in Molecular, Cellular and Developmental Biology from the Department of Biology, University of Rochester, USA. Then she went on for postdoctoral fellowships at the University of California, San Diego from 2006 to 2012. Dr. Xiaoyuan Song was granted the "Young Thousand Talents Plan" award in 2012 and has since been a professor in School of Life Science USTC. She is also joint-appointed as a faculty member at Division of Bio-X Interdisciplinary Sciences, Hefei National Laboratory for Physical Science at Microscale. For many years, she has been engaged in the research on gene expression regulation, epigenetics, ncRNA, chromosome interaction, etc. A series of articles had been published in Genes Dev., Mol. Cell Biol., Nature, PNAS and other academic journals.
Research Interest
1) Roles of three-dimensional transcriptional regulation orchestrated by lncRNAs and chromatin interaction/structure in brain aging. 2) To investigate the role of lncRNAs and chromatin interaction/structure in the process of spermatogenesis. 3) To study the function and molecular mechanism of key genes in meiosis.
