Brandon Thai Lee
Affiliate, Stem Cell Bio Regenerative Med Institute
BioBrandon Lee currently holds a research associate position at MIT Biological Engineering within Professor Linda Griffith's lab, He studies the promising role of histological analysis to improve our understanding of chronic Lyme disease, a devastating condition with understudied physiological and social implications to human health. He holds a M.A. in Bioethics & Medical Humanities and a B.A. in Cognitive Science from Case Western Reserve University.
Previously in Dr Irv Weissman's lab under the mentorship of Dr Michal Caspi Tal at the Institute for Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine (since 2019), Brandon has found interesting dermatological features of the mouse tail reminiscent of atopic dermatitis that worsens with age and infection. Using these skills and in collaboration with the Weissman Lab, Brandon is spearheading mouse work to study the sexual dimorphism in tandem with in vitro and clinical studies on chronic Lyme at the level of the reproductive system with the Tal Research Group in Dr Griffith's lab at MIT. -
Daniel Dan Liu
MD Student, expected graduation Spring 2023
Ph.D. Student in Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, admitted Autumn 2020
MSTP StudentBioDaniel received his bachelor's in molecular biology from Princeton University in 2018. His undergraduate research, conducted under the mentorship of Dr. Yibin Kang, centered around cancer metastasis and cancer stem cell biology. He is currently an MD-PhD candidate in the lab of Dr. Irving Weissman, where he researches human neural stem cells and primary brain malignancies.

Kyle Loh
Assistant Professor of Developmental Biology (Stem Cell)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe have developed a strategy to generate fairly pure populations of various human tissue progenitors in a dish from embryonic stem cells (ESCs). We have delineated the sequential lineage steps through which ESCs diversify into various tissues, and in so doing, developed methods to exclusively induce certain fates at the expense of others. The resultant pure populations of tissue progenitors are the fundamental building blocks for regenerative medicine.
