Heather Gentner
Director of Finance and Administration, Stem Cell Bio Regenerative Med Institute
Current Role at StanfordI am the Associate Director of Finance and Administration for the Chemical and Systems Biology Department in the School of Medicine. In this role I work closely with the Director of Finance and Administration to oversee and carry out administrative and financial related functions for the department.
Previously, I was Associate Director for Finance and Administration at the Bing Overseas Studies Program, responsible for management and coordination of operations and budget related functions of the BOSP home office, overseas centers, and various academic partnership and faculty-led education abroad programs. Prior to my time at BOSP, I was the Finance Manager for the Stem Cell Institute, in charge of the annual budget and sponsored and non-sponsored account portfolios. And before that, I was Grants Manager for the Stanford Cancer Institute working with multiple PIs and handling financial details for the NCI Cancer Center Support Grant (CCSG). -

Wan-Jin Lu
Basic Life Res Scientist, Stem Cell Bio Regenerative Med Institute
BioDr. Wan-Jin Lu is a Research Scientist in Dr. Phil Beachy's lab. Wan-Jin grew up in Taiwan, obtained her B.S. in Zoology at National Taiwan University and completed her PhD in Genetics and Development at UT Southwestern in the lab of Dr. John Abrams. Her Ph.D. research involved the identification of the evolutionary conserved function of the tumor suppressor gene p53 that ensures the quality control of germ cells. She then moved to the Bay Area, where she was a Damon Runyon Postdoctoral Fellow in the Institute of Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine in the Beachy lab. Her work currently focuses on understanding the function of Hedgehog signaling in taste receptor cell homeostasis and delineating the mechanisms of taste receptor regeneration after chemotherapy-induced loss.
Since 2017, she has been collaborating with Tabula Muris And Tabula Sapiens Consortium to investigate taste receptor stem cell renewal and regeneration in the Beachy lab. Her work has received funding support from California Institute of Regenerative Medicine (CIRM), Thomas and Stacey Siebel Foundation, and NIH (R21 and R01).
