Postdoctoral scholar Xinru Wang, PhD, has just been named a 2024 Leading Edge Fellow! She joins 33 other talented postdocs training in labs across the U.S.

“The Leading Edge program is a great community that supports women and non-binary scientists at various career stages,” Xinru explained. “It’s a wonderful opportunity for me to connect with people from different scientific backgrounds and share my work. I’m also excited to support others with my knowledge and experience.”

As a Fellow, Xinru will be invited to present her work at the annual Leading Edge Symposium hosted by HHMI’s Janelia Research Campus. Leading Edge plans to publish these presentations on YouTube.
