T. Bertie Ansell
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioBertie is a post-doc within the labs of Dr. Peter Dahlberg (SLAC) and Prof. Kabir Peay (Stanford). They are a current Schmidt Science Fellow researching the mechanisms of plant-microbial symbiosis within soil.
Bertie completed their PhD at the University of Oxford (UK) under the supervision of Prof. Mark Sansom and Prof. Christian Siebold. -
Stefan Oliver Bassler
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioStefan is a Bridging Excellence Postdoctoral Fellow in the Petrov lab at Stanford University and in the Aulehla & Steinmetz labs at EMBL (2025-now). He is fascinated by how evolution can be used to probe the genomic plasticity of biological systems. During his PhD with Nassos Typas at EMBL supported by the Joachim Herz Add-on Fellowship, he mapped the Genomic landscape of resistance evolution by performing high-throughput resistance evolution of the genome-wide KO library in E. coli. He discovered that evolvability genes constrain resistance evolution through gene-gene and gene-gene-drug interactions. In his postdoctoral work, he will Assess the inter-kingdom conservation of lifespan variants evolved in yeast.

Yvonne Boesch
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioYvonne received her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees from ETH Zurich and obtained her PhD in Biology, specializing in fungal denitrification, from the Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences (SLU) in Uppsala under the guidance of Prof. Sara Hallin.
In January 2025, she joined the Peay Lab as a postdoctoral scholar, supported by the Swedish Wallenberg postdoctoral scholarship program.
Yvonne is fascinated by the intricate interactions among microbes and their relationships with higher organisms, such as plants. Her research focuses on exploring how these complex relationships impact plant health, forest productivity, and resilience in the face of changing environments. -
Shubham Das
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioI am a postdoctoral researcher at Stanford University investigating how cytoskeletal regulators drive developmental processes and cellular pathways. My research focuses on the dynamic organization of the actin cytoskeleton and its roles in cell mechanics, asymmetric cell division, and embryonic development. I am particularly fascinated by how dynamic actin networks shape life at both the cellular and organismal levels. By integrating cell and developmental biology with quantitative imaging, molecular biology, and biophysical approaches, I aim to uncover the mechanisms that govern cellular behavior during development and inspire future advances in developmental biology and regenerative medicine.

Elif Gediz Kocaoglan
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biology
BioGediz completed her PhD in Bioengineering from Imperial College London. She specialized in plant synthetic biology, developed molecular tools and used regeneration as a model development process to test the functionality of these tools. She is currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Dinneny Lab, where she explores the form-function relationship of the root epidermis and investigates how plants adapt to environmental stress. By integrating biodiversity with synthetic biology approaches, her work aims to uncover design constraints for developing climate-resilient plants.
