Advances in genome engineering are of broad interest (e.g., 2020 Nobel Prize in Chemistry); however, since they occur at a rapid pace, it’s difficult for scientists to stay up to date. Attending conferences is crucial for learning about cutting-edge advances, but accessibility barriers such as travel and registration costs exist. Additionally, while principal investigators are typically invited to give talks, the first author scientists who carry out the research are better suited to answer technical questions and would greatly benefit from presenting their work.

Xiajing Tong obtained her BS from the University of Science and Technology of China and earned her PhD from the Chinese Academy of Sciences. She conducted her postdoctoral training with Joshua Kaplan at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, focusing on the regulation of synaptic transmission by autism-associated genes using C. elegans as a model organism. Currently, she is an Associate Professor of Biology at ShanghaiTech University. Her lab utilizes C. elegans as a model organism, along with studies in mammals, to investigate how sex-specific synaptic transmission and ne ..read more
