Yao Xuan Chen

Lab Assistant

My background is quite different from most of my coworkers. I received my bachelor degree from the University of Guangxi in China majoring in Architecture. I then worked as a visiting scholar at the University of Kanazawa in Japan when my husband was pursuing his PhD degree in Cancer Biology where I start noticing my interest in Biology. Upon coming to US, I have volunteered and also worked in several biomedical research labs at SFVAMC and UCSF before joining Huang's lab as lab assistant. I currently work closely with Jiasheng Zhang on her progranulin project.
