The Xapiens Podcast (XPC) Episode 11:

Join Xapiens Co-Director Bobby Johnston in a discussion with Fei Chen. Fei is a core institute member at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard and an assistant professor in the Department of Stem Cell and Regenerative Biology at Harvard University. During the course of his doctoral research, Chen co-invented Expansion Microscopy. He completed his undergraduate degree at CalTech in EE before coming to MIT for his Ph.D. in biological engineering. Fei can sometimes be found playing basketball around MIT, which is how Bobby first met him, and eventually convinced him to talk on the podcast.
