Mahasish Shome
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioDr. Mahasish Shome is interested in understanding the underlying mechanism of disease progression. He uses various omics profiling to identify biomarkers relevant to the disease. He studies antibodies, cytokines, proteins and microbiome profile to decipher the connection of disease with markers. Connecting various omics provide a holistic overview of the disease profile and can help in early diagnosis, understanding disease state and drug/vaccine effectiveness.

Han Sun
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
Biostatistician 2, Pediatrics - EndocrinologyBioHan had been a postdoc with Dr. Steinmetz at the genetics department for five years, working on both cancers and heart diseases, trying to understand the mechanisms linking from variants to disease phenotypes. This led to a few very interesting findings of aberrant splicing regulation, such as splicing-mediated readthrough stabilization (SRS), one more mechanism for oncogene activation in multiple types of cancers, and tissue-specific splicing of a mitochondrial inner membrane protein, suggesting a molecular connection between deficiency in energy-supplying and dilated cardiomyopathy.
After being a senior computational biologist with Dr. Gloyn, who has been dedicated to the research of type 2 diabetes for decades, Han switched to the field of this multifactorial metabolic disease. It did take some courage to make such a switch at his post-postdoc stage, however, Han has a consistent interest in studying PG&E, which is not pacific gas and electric nearby, but the interaction between phenotype, genotype, and environment. With years of hands-on experience in statistical modeling and the analysis of next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry data, in addition to a good understanding of disease genetics, cancer biology, and systems biology, Han is highly confident that he will enjoy the adventure and contribute to our understanding of diabetes. -
Artem A. Trotsyuk, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioDr. Artem A. Trotsyuk is an AI Fellow in the Department of Genetics at Stanford University and an AI Special Projects Fellow at the Hoover Institution. He earned his PhD in Bioengineering and a Master’s in Computer Science with an AI specialization at Stanford, under the supervision of Dr. Geoffrey Gurtner in the Department of Surgery. He was co-advised by Dr. Zhenan Bao (Chemical Engineering), Dr. Russ Altman (Bioengineering and Medicine), and Dr. Michael Snyder (Genetics). His doctoral research focused on developing a smart bandage that integrates a closed-loop AI processing system for wound sensing and therapeutic delivery. His current work centers on evaluating AI tools in biomedicine, as well as special projects related to security, intent capture, and persona modeling.
