Biography

Dr. Bao is an Associate Professor of Pediatrics in the Division of Clinic and Experimental Immunology and Infectious Disease. She received her PhD in the Cellular Physiology and Molecular Biophysics from the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. Dr. Bao continued her education as a J.Kempner scholar for the year 2003-2004 and completed her postdoctoral fellowship in a NIAID-supported T32 training program for emerging and reemerging infectious in UTMB. One of her research interests focuses on biological roles of small non-coding RNAs (sncRNAs).

Research Interest

Xiaoyong Bao research is her lab focuses on molecular mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis and host immune responses associated with RSV and hMPV infections, the two leading causes of lower respiratory tract infections in infants. They aim to identify antiviral pathways, viral evasion mechanisms, and roles of sncRNAs in RSV/hMPV infection.
