Associate Professor
Molecular and Cell Biology
Xuecai Ge studied embryonic neurogenesis for this PhD thesis at Harvard University, and her work revealed how psychiatric disease-related proteins affect neuronal production in the brain. As a postdoctoral fellow at Stanford, She investigated Hedgehog signaling and its implications in pediatric brain tumors. Her lab studies cell signaling in neurodevelopment and neurological disorders, focusing on the primary cilium, a miniature hair-like organelle at the cell surface. She is passionate about nurturing the next generation scientists.
