About
Xinxin Wang, Ph.D., is an assistant professor of physics and engineering physics. He earned his doctoral degree under the guidance of Anders Carlsson, Ph.D., at WashU, specializing in theoretical and computational studies of biological processes that resemble circuits. He continued his postdoctoral research at the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center in Dallas under the mentorship of Gaudenz Danuser, Ph.D., and Sandra Schmid, Ph.D., focusing on clathrin-mediated endocytosis (CME) in mammalian cells (the major pathway for nutrients, signaling molecules, and viruses to enter the cells). These unique experiences have led Wang to establish a ground-breaking research program to address leading-edge questions related to healthy aging and longevity.
