Li-Feng Jiang-Xie, a postdoctoral research fellow within the Department of Pathology and Immunology at WashU Medicine, has been honored with the 2024 WashU Medicine Bold Pioneer Award. Jiang-Xie investigates slumber, general anesthesia, and neurodegenerative conditions, aiming to merge knowledge from biological and artificial neural networks to develop a cohesive theory of sleep functionality.
