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.

Moss Zhao
Instructor, Neurosurgery
BioDr. Moss Zhao is an Instructor at Department of Neurosurgery, Stanford University. He develops cutting-edge and clinically viable imaging technologies to improve the diagnosis and treatment of cerebrovascular diseases across the lifespan. His specific areas of expertise include physiological modeling, arterial spin labeling, Bayesian inference, PET/MRI, and artificial intelligence. His scientific contributions could significantly improve the early detection of strokes and dementia as well as enrich the knowledge of brain development in the first two decades of life.
Dr. Zhao received his DPhil at St Cross College of University of Oxford under the supervision of Prof. Michael Chappell. As an alumni mentor, he supports the career development of students of his alma mater. Since 2016, he has presented his work to more than 3000 delegates at international conferences and held leadership positions in professional societies. His research and teaching are supported by the American Heart Association, the National Institutes of Health, and the European Cooperation in Science and Technology. -
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.
