Mike Tzuhen Wei
Clinical Assistant Professor, Medicine - Gastroenterology & Hepatology
BioDr. Wei was born and raised in Taipei, Taiwan. He went to Stanford for his undergraduate studies in Biology and earned his medical degree at Weill Cornell Medical College. Unable to stay far from the Bay Area, he returned to Stanford where he completed his residency in internal medicine and subsequently his fellowship in gastroenterology. Dr. Wei has specific interests in colorectal cancer and Barrett’s esophagus surveillance as well as reflux diagnosis and management. He has an interest in endoscopic resection of large polyps and had received training under Dr. Shai Friedland, a world expert in this field. Dr. Wei work focuses on evaluating new tools, technologies and techniques in gastrointestinal cancer surveillance and management. He has been involved in running several trials in endoscopic management of polyps and evaluating artificial intelligence applications in gastroenterology. His work has been published in American Journal of Gastroenterology, Gastrointestinal Endoscopy, Clinical Endoscopy, VideoGIE, and Digestive Diseases and Sciences. He was formerly an Associate Editor for the ACG Case Report Journal (2020-2022) and was on the Board of the Northern California Society of Clinical Gastroenterology. When not in clinic or in endoscopy, Dr. Wei enjoys spending time with his family. He and his family enjoy traveling and exploring new restaurants.

Ruolun Wei
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioRuolun Wei, MD, PhD, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University. Dr. Wei’s work centers on neuro-oncology, with particular emphasis on brain tumor recurrence, treatment resistance, and tumor metabolism. He is also a board-certified neurosurgeon, currently focusing on full-time research. His research aims to bridge the gap between clinical practice and laboratory investigation, conducting translational research that moves from bedside to bench and back to bedside to improve therapeutic outcomes for patients with malignant brain tumors.

Tan Wei Ting
Affiliate, Neurosurgery
BioWei Ting graduated from University Malaya under the Department of Biomedical Engineering (Bachelor & Master's).Apart from multidisciplinary (tissue engineering, medical imaging, computational biology) research experience, she has worked in startups, industry, clinics, and medical centres with exposure to rehabilitation robotics, TCM in fertility, and clinical trials.
Her past undergraduate research experience includes
1. Dr Belinda Murphy’s Tissue Engineering Lab to assist in cell culturing and cytotoxicity testing
2. Asian Cardiac Laboratory under Dr Lim Einly for medical imaging-based investigation of flow energetics and vortex parameters in heart attack patients
For master's research, funded under Newton Advanced Fellowship in collaboration with Imperial College London’s Prof Xu group and UTM's Dr Mohd Jamil’s group.
1. Research focus: investigating the risk factor of distal stent induced new entry in aortic dissection patients using both simplified and patient-specific models.
2. Presented in local and international conference, published peer review studies and has reviewed paper relevant to the project.
With curiosity for knowledge, arts, philosophy, and the sciences, she often diving into new fields, moves across disciplines, and combines several areas of knowledge. She gained both lab-based and computational skills, for example: bioinformatics, pharmacokinetic modelling, cell staining, confocal microscopy, FRET cell transfection, live cell imaging, image processing, high-performance computing, quantum algorithms, etc. At MSU, she is part of the Tau Beta Pi National Honor Society and Cloud Computing Foundations (CCF) Program. For the cloud program, her interest is to incorporate quantum advantage to apply hybrid computational quantum-classical framework for small molecule drug development.
Wei Ting has been active in learning more about different facets of medicine and often engages with researchers and physicians. She has gained familiarity with neurological disease (e.g. autism, Parkinson's, and Alzheimer's) from different perspectives (e.g., rehabilitation robotics, brain simulation, and psychiatry. She is invited to join the Neurobehavior and Neuroscience Methods Workshop (SPrINT/Stanford) in 2026. -
Martin Weik
Affiliate, Structural Biology
Visiting Scholar, Structural BiologyBioMartin Weik is a CEA research director at the Institut de Biologie Structurale in Grenoble, France. He leads the “Structural Protein Dynamics” research team and chairs the “Dynamics and Kinetics of Molecular Processes” group. His work focuses on the dynamics of proteins — how they move and change shape over time — and how these dynamics relate to their function. Light-sensitive proteins (photoreceptors and fluorescent proteins, for example) are studied using a variety of experimental biophysical methods, including time-resolved serial crystallography at X-ray free electron lasers and synchrotrons. His other research interests include investigating how hydration water (i.e. water molecules surrounding proteins) couples to the dynamics of proteins, fibrous aggregates or disordered regions, using techniques such as neutron spectroscopy. Many of the proteins studied have medical or biotechnological applications.
In addition to conducting research, Martin Weik teaches a master course on using X-ray and neutron scattering to study biomolecular structure and dynamics at the University of Parma, Italy. Between March and June 2026, he is a Fulbright–UGA Scholar, hosted by Professor Soichi Wakatsuki in the Department of Structural Biology at Stanford University. -
