Yanan Zhao
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioYanan completed her Ph.D. degree at Fudan University, where she uncovered the mechanisms of sleep transitions from the evolutionary point of view in Dr Zhili Huang’s lab, with a combination of optogenetics, in vivo electrophysiology, fiber photometry, polysomnography, immunohistochemistry and so on. In the de Lecea lab, Yanan is now curious about how sleep regulates the balance between DNA damage and repair with approaches of imaging. At the same time, she is interested in larger scale imaging during different brain states. Outside the lab, Yanan enjoys biking and exploring the sunny bay area.

Xiaoxu Zhong
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Physics
BioI am a Postdoctoral Fellow in the Guillem Pratx Lab, with an expertise in predictive modeling, algorithm development, and data science. I earned my Bachelor of Science and Master of Science degrees in Ocean Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University. I then received a Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering from Purdue University, where I focused on developing mathematical models and applying machine learning. My work uncovered the mechanisms behind autoinjectors, drug delivery, and cavitation bubbles, with applications in tumor treatment and the design of medical devices. Currently, I am combining computational modeling and experimental approaches to positron emission tomography imaging, aiming to improve tumor diagnosis and treatment. I am also investigating how ionizing radiation nucleates nano-sized bubbles.

Anna Ting Zhou
Clinical Assistant Professor, Surgery - Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery
BioDr. Anna Ting Zhou is a board-certified, fellowship-trained plastic surgeon with Stanford Health Care. She is also a clinical assistant professor in the Department of Surgery, Division of Plastic & Reconstructive Surgery at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Zhou performs a wide range of plastic and reconstructive surgeries to restore both function and appearance for patients affected by cancer and trauma. She specializes in breast reconstruction following breast-conserving surgery (lumpectomy) and mastectomy, offering the full spectrum of reconstruction options. Dr. Zhou also specializes in advanced surgical techniques to prevent and treat lymphedema. She performs procedures such as immediate lymphatic reconstruction, lymphovenous bypass, and vascularized lymph node transfer, helping restore lymphatic drainage and improve patients' quality of life.
A patient-centered approach guides Dr. Zhou’s practice. She believes that successful reconstruction begins with listening carefully to each patient's concerns, understanding their goals, and working together to develop a personalized surgical plan. She is dedicated to delivering compassionate, evidence-based care and partnering with each patient throughout their reconstructive journey.
Dr. Zhou's research focuses on advancing reconstructive microsurgery and improving outcomes in breast reconstruction and lymphedema surgery. Her work has explored techniques to preserve breast sensation following mastectomy and novel methods of hybrid breast reconstruction. She has also investigated the use of a medical implant to augment lymphedema surgery and how to optimize lymphedema treatment algorithms. She has authored numerous peer-reviewed publications in leading journals, including Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, Journal of Surgical Oncology, and Journal of Clinical Medicine, and has presented her research at national and international scientific meetings.
Dr. Zhou is an active member of the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the California Society of Plastic Surgeons, and the American Society for Reconstructive Microsurgery. -
