Xinjian (Doris) He

Xinjian (Doris) He graduated from NYU with a MS degree in 2017. Her thesis research emphasized evolutionary genetics. Doris worked as a clinical embryologist for a few years before joining the Mager Lab. She began her work characterizing the role of Zinc Finger HIT-Type Containing 1 and 2 (Znhit1 and Znhit2) in early embryonic development by identifying lethal knockout mutants. Her research interests primarily lie in genetic and epigenetic regulation during embryogenesis. She hopes that her research could eventually benefit human reproductive health.
