Sa Xiao
Sa earned a B. Eng Honours (2015) in Electrical Engineering and M. Eng (2018) in Biomedical Engineering from McGill University. His undergraduate research, including his Honour’s thesis, focused on the fabrication and characterization of two-dimensional nanomaterials. His master’s research focused on the development of a miniaturized in vitro gastrointestinal tract (GIT) that could support GIT microbiota from live human fecal samples for the testing of various foods, drugs, or supplements to study the broader role of the GIT microbiota pertaining to human health and disease.
He joined the SintonLab in 2018, with a focus in the fertility field. More specifically, he is developing a microfluidic array platform for the testing of sperm cells in a high throughput and multiplexed manner to study the effects of various drugs or toxicology on sperm for the treatment of infertility, along with providing a platform to study contraceptives and toxicological effects.
