Xiaoyu Shi

Dr. Xiaoyu Shi is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Developmental and Cell Biology and the Department of Chemistry at the University of California, Irvine. Her research group uses optical and chemical approaches to develop super-resolution microscopy and spatial multiomics methods. She uses these cutting-edge technologies to study the molecular and cellular mechanisms of aging and cancers. Prior to UC Irvine, she received training in super-resolution microscopy and nonlinear optics during her postdoctoral research with Dr. Bo Huang at UCSF and her Ph.D. studies with Dr. Cheuk-Yiu Ng at UC Davis. Xiaoyu is the recipient of the NIH Director’s New Innovator Award (DP2), NIH Pathway to Independence Award (K99/R00), Chan Zuckerberg Initiative Frontiers of Imaging Award, and Hellman Fellowship.
