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.

Lev Tsypin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am working with Botryococcus braunii, a species of freshwater microscopic algae. This organism is unique among plants in that it secretes copious amounts of oil that is chemically analogous to petroleum. This organism may be the key to developing a cheap and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, but we do not yet have the tools to engineer or optimize its oil production. My work aims to bridge this gap.

Xun Tu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAs a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Erin Gibson’s lab, I am integrating my expertise in molecular signaling and systems neuroscience to study the role of OPCs in sleep. My interest in sleep has been further reinforced by observing the dramatic shifts in sleep architecture across developmental stages as a new parent, highlighting the necessity of sleep for neural refinement. My current research uses in vivo calcium imaging and closed-loop optogenetics to determine how OPC-neuron communication coordinates hippocampal sharp-wave ripples. By characterizing how aging blunts OPC responsiveness to sleep, I aim to identify novel strategies to preserve memory and promote healthy cognitive aging.

Carolyn Turcotte
Postdoctoral Scholar, Developmental Biology
BioCarolyn Turcotte is a postdoctoral fellow in the Villeneuve lab that studies meiotic homolog pairing using an interspecies hybrid model system. She earned her PhD in Genetics and Molecular Biology at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, where she worked in Jeff Sekelsky's lab and studied spontaneous meiotic nondisjunction in Drosophila.
