Bio:

Xinmin (Simon) Xie, B.S. in medicine (Sun Yet-Sen University of Medical Sciences, Guangzhou, China 1982), M.D. (University of Bern, Switzerland 1989), and Ph.D. (University of London, UK 1992) is the founder of AfaSci, Inc. California, which specializes in developing automation devices for neurobehavioral phenotyping and drug efficacy and toxicity screens in vivo. Dr. Xie also serves as a Consulting Associate Professor at Stanford University School of Medicine.

Dr. Xie as the Principal Investigator has rich experience in directing and executing NIH-sponsored research including R01, R03 R21, and multiple R43, R44 SBIR/STTR grants. Recently he established the AfaSci Research laboratory and leads a team investigating roles of hypocretin/orexin in modulation of stress and pain, and on the development of dissolvable microneedles to deliver drugs for the treatment of neurogenic inflammatory pain.
