Xiao Wang is a Thomas D. and Virginia W. Cabot Professor at MIT in the Department of Chemistry. She is the first Core Member of the Broad Institute with an academic appointment in the Department of Chemistry at MIT. Her work focuses on designing and producing new tools and methods for analyzing the brain.




Education and career


Wang studied at Peking University and received her B.S. in chemistry and molecular engineering in 2010. At Peking University she studied with Professor Jian Pei working on fluorescent organic materials. In 2015 she received her Ph.D. from the University of Chicago where she worked with Chuan He on elucidating the cellular functions of RNA modifications. While at the University of Chicago, Wang was awarded the Chinese Government Award for Outstanding Self-Financed Students Abroad and the Elizabeth R. Norton Prize for Excellence in Research in Chemistry. She was a postdoctoral fellow of the Life Sciences Foundation at Stanford University. She worked with Karl Deisseroth at Stanford and "developed comprehensive methods for analyzing RNA in intact tissues that merge sequencing with imaging, in order to reveal the locations of various cell types in the brain and to find out how these cells are connected."
Wang became an assistant professor at MIT in 2019 and the Wang Lab at MIT opened on August 1, 2019. In 2020 she was awarded a Searle Scholars Program grant.
