Incoming Assistant Professor @MITdeptofBE and @kochinstitute intramural member. Joan and Tom Steitz RNA Fellow. Postdoc with @RongFan8
We are looking for talented postdocs/visiting students to join our team @MITdeptofBE and @kochinstitute to innovate spatial multi-omics technologies, map clinical samples, and integrate AI/ML models to advance next-generation cancer immunotherapy. Please help to spread!!

Warmest congratulations to Carl @carlhjune So-well deserved as a pioneering scientist!
Carl June (@Penn), Bruce Levine (Penn), Isabelle Rivière (@TakedaPharma), Michel Sadelain (@Columbia) have been awarded the 2025 Richard N. Merkin Prize in Biomedical Technology for developing CAR T-cell therapy for cancer. broad.io/MerkinPrizeNew…
The molecular landscape revealed by our Patho-DBiT technology was selected for The Beauty of Science exhibition! Delighted to share this moment with my clinical advisor @MinaXu7, while @RongFan8 obviously missed it 🤣


So thrilled that this stunning image produced by our Patho-DBiT technology has been selected for “The Beauty of Science” exhibition, revealing “Stories written in RNAs”! @RongFan8 @MinaXu7
Congratulations to @Zhiliang_Bai, PhD, a Postdoctoral Associate in the Lab of @RongFan8, for having an image he created chosen for the “The Beauty of Science,” art display outside the Cushing/Whitney Medical Library @YaleMed
Huge congratulations to @LongweiLiu and @wang_yingxiao! Ultrasound controllable “SMART” EchoBack CAR-T for solid tumors! Happy to participate in this amazing project!

I’m beyond thrilled to be selected for the Sparkathon Class of 2025 and to join this family! Terrific program with solid science, strong mentorship, and career development!
SITC would like to extend our gratitude towards the Sparkathon Class of 2025! It was a successful program on Cellular Therapy for Solid Tumors. We look forward to meeting again @ SITC's 40th Anniversary Annual Meeting & Pre-Conference Programs! #Sparkathon sitcancer.org/2025
Beautiful cover art and exciting future of decoding human FFPE tissues using our Patho-DBiT technology!
Just picked up the beautiful offprint of our Patho-DBiT paper that was on the cover of @CellCellPress, highlighting its power to spatially explore molecular biology in human FFPE tissues 🤩🤩 . Congratulations to my phenomenal postdoc @Zhiliang_Bai and all amazing collaborators!!
Big shoutout to Yang, my close friend and peer mentor since 2019! She’s an inspiring, deep thinker and an artist in science—a rising star in spatial omics and neuroscience. Wishing you all the success in this new chapter! Highly recommend joining her lab—don’t miss the chance!
🌟Join the Xiao Lab @UMich🌟Recruiting PhD students and postdocs in spatial biology 💡🧲 We're seeking both experimental and/or computational individuals with a passion for the interdisciplinary research of omics, bioengineering, and pathology. More info: xiaoyang.nyc/join
Our Patho-DBiT is featured on the Cover of @CellCellPress ! Thank you all for leading this amazing innovation @RongFan8 @MinaXu7 Dr. Jun Lu, @YiXing77 @DrMingyaoLi !
For a perfect ending of our focus issues celebrating #50 years of Cell, we are diving into Molecular Biology!! 👉 cell.com/cell/current Molecular biology is driven by curiosity about the details of life and has enabled dazzling achievements in virtually all areas of…
Thrilled to present two talks at #BMES2024 on ultra-long-term CAR T responses and spatial whole RNA biology in clinical FFPE tissues! Proud of my mentee, Yale undergrad Leo Shen, for his poster on AI in large-scale single-cell omics profiling of CAR T cells! @RongFan8 @YaleBme


Patho-DBiT, for the first time, maps spatial distribution of microRNAs in clinically archived FFPE tissues and reveals their regulatory roles in tumorigenesis! #NobelPrize2024
