Joy Wu
Associate Professor of Medicine (Endocrinology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy laboratory focuses on the pathways that regulate the differentiation of mesenchymal stem cells into the osteoblast and adipocyte lineages. We are also studying the role of osteoblasts in the hematopoietic and cancer niches in the bone marrow microenvironment.

Sean M. Wu
Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy lab seeks to identify mechanisms regulating cardiac lineage commitment during embryonic development and the biology of cardiac progenitor cells in development and disease. We believe that by understanding the transcriptional and epigenetic basis of cardiomyocyte growth and differentiation, we can identify the most effective ways to repair diseased adult hearts. We employ mouse and human embryonic and induced pluripotent stem cells as well as rodents as our in vivo models for investigation.

Xiaokang Wu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Institute
BioDr. Wu completed her medical degree and a Ph.D. in clinical medicine from West China Medical College. Following this, she underwent postdoctoral training at the Smidt Heart Institute of Cedars-Sinai Medical Center, where her research centered on endovascular inflammation, calcium regulation in HFpEF (Heart Failure with Preserved Ejection Fraction), and the potential of Cardiosphere-derived cells (CDCs) and their exosomes (CDCexo) in heart failure treatment. Building on her proficiency in calcium handling and cardiosphere-derived cell-based therapies in rodent models, Dr. Wu became a part of the Stanford Cardiovascular Institute. Here, she delved deeper into regenerative medicine solutions for cardiovascular ailments. Currently, Dr. Wu spearheads research on transthyretin cardiac amyloidosis (ATTR), a rare and devastating protein misfolding disease. Utilizing iPSC, animal models, and human samples, her pioneering work promises significant insights into this life-threatening condition, aiming to enhance patient outcomes.

Yue Wu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI built computational methods to integrate and model biological time series, including metabolic dynamics, longitudinal multi-omics data, and micro-sampling. I reduce dimensions, built clusters, and search for causal links.

Courtney Wusthoff, MD
Associate Professor of Neurology and, by courtesy, of Pediatrics (Neonatology)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy projects focus on clinical research in newborns with, or at risk, for brain injury. I use EEG in at-risk neonates to better understand the underlying pathophysiology of risk factors that may lead to worse outcomes. I am particularly interested in neonatal seizures and how they may exacerbate perinatal brain injury with a goal to identify treatments that might protect the vulnerable brain. I am also interested in EEG in other pediatric populations, as well as medical ethics and global health.

Joanna Wysocka
Lorry Lokey Professor and Professor of Developmental Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe precise and robust regulation of gene expression is a cornerstone for complex biological life. Research in our laboratory is focused on understanding how regulatory information encoded by the genome is integrated with the transcriptional machinery and chromatin context to allow for emergence of form and function during human embryogenesis and evolution, and how perturbations in this process lead to disease.
