Xiaoxuan Jia, Ph.D.
Senior Scientist
Dr. Xiaoxuan Jia received her B.S. in Biological Sciences and Biotechnology from Tsinghua University in 2005. Dr. Jia then obtained her Ph.D. in Systems Neuroscience from Albert Einstein College of Medicine, where she studied brain oscillations and visual processing in early visual areas of non-human primates in Dr. Adam Kohn’s lab. Her Ph.D. work won the Julius Marmur Research Award for outstanding graduate research. Dr. Jia pursued postdoc training in Dr. James DiCarlo’s lab at MIT to investigate the neural mechanisms underlying tolerant object recognition behavior from the aspect of unsupervised learning (uninstructed learning). After postdoc, Dr. Jia joined Allen Institute for Brain Science in 2016, where she led various projects to investigate visual sensory processing in behaving mice with multi-area, large-scale electrophysiology recordings. Dr. Xiaoxuan Jia’s long term interest is to understand the fundamental principles of visual information representation and propagation, and how they shape perception and behavior.
