About
Xiaoling Jia is a leading researcher at the intersection of neural tissue engineering and microphysiological systems, with a primary focus on developing advanced in vitro models of the neuromuscular junction (NMJ). Her major contributions lie in pioneering organ-on-a-chip, organoid, and biohybrid robotic platforms that recapitulate the complex synaptic connection between motor neurons and skeletal muscle fibers. Her highly cited 2023 review, which has already garnered 57 citations, systematically maps the state of the art in these technologies, providing a critical framework for studying traumatic, neurodegenerative, and neuroimmunological diseases that disrupt motor function. By integrating biofabrication with robotics, Jia’s work enables unprecedented dynamic modeling of NMJ physiology and pathology, offering powerful tools for drug screening and mechanistic studies. Her research is shaping the next generation of personalized medicine platforms, bridging the gap between benchtop biology and clinical translation.
