Cuyler Luck
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am a primarily lab-based (but computationally competent) biologist with a broad interest in understanding both how cells evolve to cause disease and how we might leverage similar strategies to engineer new behaviors into organisms. I enjoy doing science in diverse research areas (previously including malaria, chromatin remodeling in yeast, and several types of cancer), and I am excited to continue this trend by building synthetic biology tools for deployment in plants as a postdoc.

Viviana Macarelli
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioViviana earned her PhD in Clinical Biochemistry from the University of Cambridge (UK) in 2024, where she focused on the role of primary cilia in metabolic sensing by the hypothalamus. She then joined the Lundberg lab as a postdoc for a project in collaboration with the Chan Zuckerberg Imaging Institute. She will focus on characterizing primary cilia in the adult brain using human induced pluripotent stem cells (hIPSC).

Alessandra Massa, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Bioengineering
BioPostdoctoral Fellow (Stanford Bio-X Fellowship), Head of FUNGAL FOOD LAB.
Alessandra earned her PhD in Gastronomy Sciences from the Basque Culinary Centre (Mondragon University), where her research explores filamentous fungi as an innovative platform for food development — with applications spanning the food industry and restaurant contexts. She has worked with food-tech startups such as Esencia Foods and NoMy Japan to develop mycelium-based products and alternative proteins, and has collaborated with Michelin-starred restaurants including Azurmendi, Culler de Pau, and Mugaritz.As a Postdoctoral Researcher at Hill-Maini Lab, Alessandra works at the crossroads of bioengineering and gastronomy, using Neurospora intermedia as a tool to transform food waste into, nutritious and delicious foods. Her work sits at the intersection of science, industry, and gastronomy — driven by a deep passion for finding solutions to real-world food challenges. Just as fungi spread through their mycelium, Alessandra is on a mission to spread gastronomy across disciplines around the campus!
