Xiao Li, PhD
Dr. Xiao Li is an assistant professor at Case Western Reserve University. During her Ph.D. study, she received both computational and biological training under the supervision of Drs. Quaid Morris and Howard Lipshitz at the University of Toronto. During her postdoctoral training, she led the wearable team in Dr. Michael Snyder’s lab at Stanford University and performed the groundwork for the proposed research by investigating the impact of wearable devices on health management.
Dr. Li is highly motivated to use machine learning techniques to integrate genomic, clinic, and digital data to monitor changes during healthy and diseased states and improve the ability to prevent, diagnose, and treat diseases. She developed change-of-heart algorithm to use wearable-measured resting heart rate for early warning of infectious diseases, and which has been applied to flag and trace various health and disease conditions, such as COVID.
