Chuan Li
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biology
BioI am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Dmitri Lab (2017-now). My research interests include cancer genetics and fast evolution. I received my Ph.D. in Ecology and Evolutionary Biology with a dual degree in Statistics from the University of Michigan in 2017. During my Ph.D. at Dr. Jianzhi Zhang’s lab, I worked in quantifying intergenic and intragenic epistasis at a large scale with both experimental and computational approaches using yeast as the model system and published work on the empirical determination of the fitness landscape of the tRNA gene. In the Petrov lab, my research focuses on using tumor barcoding and barcode sequencing method (Tuba-seq) in mice to quantify the growth of tumors carrying specific genetic alterations at unprecedented resolution and throughput. My research focuses on applying the improved Tuba-seq platform to answer three questions. The first question is, how does knocking out candidate tumor suppressor genes affects tumor growth in different genetic backgrounds, stages of tumorigenesis, and sexes. The second question is how tumor suppressor genes, when mutated alone or in combination with other genes, affects tumor growth. The third question is, how does harboring various mutations affects the response to various cancer therapies.

Percy Liang
Associate Professor of Computer Science and, by courtesy, of Statistics
BioPercy Liang is an Associate Professor of Computer Science at Stanford University (B.S. from MIT, 2004; Ph.D. from UC Berkeley, 2011). His two research goals are (i) to make machine learning more robust, fair, and interpretable; and (ii) to make computers easier to communicate with through natural language. His awards include the Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers (2019), IJCAI Computers and Thought Award (2016), an NSF CAREER Award (2016), a Sloan Research Fellowship (2015), and a Microsoft Research Faculty Fellowship (2014).

Hsiao-Wen Liao
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Psychology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy program of research aims to answer two broad questions: What factors contribute to long and meaningful lives? How do individual life experiences, particularly those that are personally significant and challenging, shape the pursuit of meaning across adulthood in diverse contexts? I address these questions from a functional approach to autobiographical memory. Specifically, my work has focused on (1) emotional memories, meaning-making and adult well-being, (2) developmental changes in motivation and its relation to autobiographical remembering, and (3) sociocultural factors that shape the remembering. My most recent research explores potential cognitive costs associated with the pursuit of meaning in diverse aging groups.
