We are an interdisciplinary team building chemical, imaging, and computational tools to decode the brain. A recent Asimov Press podcast spotlights our work and explores both the challenges and the transformative potential of this field. Have a listen!

​

Postdocs. Prospective postdocs with expertise in chemical biology, neurobiology, microscopy, and computer science are encouraged to apply!
 

We are actively recruiting candidates with experience in these areas:
a) molecular imaging and probe design, protein or small molecular probe design and preparation, experience in applying advanced imaging probe/platform for complex tissue samples.​

​

b) neurologist with experience in neuronal circuitry and related diseases.

c) computational scientist with experience in large imaging data segmentation and analysis and/or computational protein design.

Please email Xiaotang with your CV (one page, excluding publication list), research statement (one page) and contact information of two references.

​

Graduate Students. Please apply to one graduate program with which Xiaotang is affiliated, such as Chemistry, Bioengineering, or Neuroscience. Current UIUC graduate student can email Xiaotang direcly to discuss rotation.
