TZU HAN LO
Postdoctoral Scholar, Gastroenterology
BioTzu-Han Lo, a researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences at Academia Sinica, has made contributions to the field of macrophage biology. His work has particularly focused on inflammation, especially in the context of fibrotic response. One of his works includes a study on the regulation of macrophage polarization in ureteral obstruction. This research has illuminated the role of inflammatory cell infiltration and activation during the early stages of kidney injury, a common pathological feature of chronic kidney disease.
In addition to his work on macrophage biology, Tzu-Han Lo has also delved into research related to galectins, a family of β-galactoside–binding proteins. His work in this area has centered on the role of galectins in recognizing microbial glycans, particularly lipopolysaccharides (LPSs). He has explored their impact on host defense mechanisms, including autophagy and both canonical and non-canonical inflammasome signaling pathways.
His research has offered insights into the complex interactions between host immunity and microbial components. This has contributed to our understanding of inflammatory responses and their implications for human health. -
Renske Lok
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI'm interested in questions regarding perceived experiences and measured markers of those experiences, for example how do perceived sleep quality relate to sleep quality measured, or how does daytime sleepiness relate to sleep quality at night.
Other interests include effects of daytime light exposure on nighttime sleep, circadian clock phase changes by flashes of light, and how stability and variability in daily rhythms can predict health and disease -
Chenery Lowe
Postdoctoral Scholar, Biomedical Ethics
BioChenery Lowe, Ph.D., CGC, is a genetic counselor and healthcare communication researcher. She received her ScM in Genetic Counseling from the Johns Hopkins University/ National Institutes of Health Genetic Counseling Training Program in 2018. Chenery received her Ph.D. in Social and Behavioral Sciences from Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health in 2022, where she later served as an assistant scientist and academic director for the JHU/NIH genetic counseling program. Clinically, she has provided genetic counseling in immunology and adult oncology settings. She has taught graduate-level courses on interpersonal communication in health care, health literacy, and social and behavioral research in genetic counseling. Her research interests are in the areas of patient-provider communication, health equity, implicit bias, communication skills training interventions, and the ethics of interpersonal influence in medical care.

Dian Lu (Lyu 吕)
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurology and Neurological Sciences
BioDian received her Master's degree in Cognitive Neurosciences from University College London, and her Ph.D. in Clinical Neurosciences from the University of Cambridge. Her previous work focused on default-mode-network functional connectivity and inter-network interactions across different brain states. She is interested in consciousness studies involving self-related cognition using intracranial EEG and electrical stimulation and precision mapping of anatomy and function by leveraging computational modeling.

Xuchao Lyu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioDr. XuchaoLyu (Lv) reveived his bachelor's degree in biology and chemistry from Jilin University, China in 2011. He completed his Ph.D. in metabolism disease at Tsinghua University in 2019. He worked with Peng Li to study the mechanism of lipid droplet growth. He uncovered the unique lipid-permeable condensate that allows lipid transfer which is formed through 2D phase separation on the phospholipid membrane. Xuchao is currently a postdoc in Jonathan Long's lab at Stanford University. He is studying the secreted factors from various tissues during exercise. Outside of the lab, he enjoys eating and cooking.
