Zheng Xia

Zheng Xia is an Assistant Professor of Computational Biology and Biomedical Engineering at Oregon Health & Science University School of Medicine. His research focuses on cancer biology, particularly prostate cancer, oncogenes, and lineage plasticity, integrating single-cell genomics, immunology, and pharmacology. He developed scSurvival, a single-cell survival analysis framework for clinical cancer cohorts, and identified PROX1 as an early driver of lineage plasticity in prostate cancer. His recent work includes OmicsTweezer, a distribution-independent cell deconvolution model for multi-omics data, and studies on androgen receptor activity, immune infiltration, and immunotherapy response across cancer types. His publications appear in Cancer Discovery, Journal of Clinical Investigation, and Cell Genomics.
