Xiao Yang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
BioXiao Yang is a Wu Tsai Neurosciences Institute Interdisciplinary Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, working jointly in the laboratories of Professor Sergiu P. Pașca (Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences) and Professor Bianxiao Cui (Chemistry). She received her Ph.D. in Chemistry from Harvard University under the guidance of Professor Charles M. Lieber in 2020, and her B.S. in Chemistry from the College of Chemistry and Molecular Engineering at Peking University in 2015.
Dr. Yang will join the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Johns Hopkins University as an Assistant Professor in June 2025.
Dr. Yang drew inspiration from biological systems and art forms to design and develop a series of bio-inspired and art-inspired bioelectronics. Her studies encompass neural probes for in vivo brain-machine interface, electronic scaffolds for brain repair, and platforms for detecting human genetic diseases and tracking human neural development using human brain organoids.
Bioelectronic devices are important as fundamental research tools for probing and understanding the brain with high spatiotemporal resolution, and as potential therapeutic avenues for treating brain diseases, disorders, and injuries. However, they face key challenges, such as achieving biomimicry at the molecular level, expanded multifunctionality at the microscale, and versatile programmability at the macroscale. The Yang Lab will address these challenges by integrating bioelectronics, bioengineering, chemistry, materials science, and neuroscience. We aim to develop novel bioelectronics and biomaterials for brain-machine interfaces, regenerative medicine, and the study of human neural development and diseases. -

Tsai-Chu Yeh, MD, MTM
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Tsai-Chu Yeh is a dedicated vitreoretinal surgeon and scientist. During residency, she was honored with the Best Resident Award, and her research has been featured in Medscape News and the American Academy of Ophthalmology, earning numerous awards from the Association for Research in Vision and Ophthalmology, American Society of Retina Specialists, Fuji Retina, and the Taiwan Retina and Ocular Inflammation Society.
Beyond advancing science, Dr. Yeh is deeply committed to inspiring the next generation by making translational medicine both accessible and impactful. She received the Best Teacher Award for five consecutive years and was promoted to assistant professor as one of the youngest scholars in her field.
Motivated by a passion to bridge science and medicine, she joined the Mahajan Lab at Stanford University as a postdoctoral scholar, where she developed expertise in molecular genetics, honed her passion for discovery, and embraced the lessons of resilience and perseverance. Her research focuses on identifying protein signatures and molecular mechanisms underlying vitreoretinal diseases, aiming to pave the way for targeted, vision-restoring therapies.
Outside the lab and clinic, Dr. Yeh is a true renaissance woman. She finds joy in reading, music and art, and cherishes time with her family and friends. She also enjoys traveling, tennis, and golf. Her vibrant spirit infuses everything she does—bringing energy, empathy, and excellence to her work as a clinician, scientist, and surgeon. -
Kelly H. Yoo, MD, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioDr. Kelly H. Yoo is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University, specializing in innovative therapeutic strategies for neurosurgical pathologies. She earned her M.D. and Ph.D. from Heidelberg University School of Medicine, where her doctoral research focused on combining CAR T cell immunotherapy with ibrutinib and a reactive oxygen species accelerator, PipFcB, for hematologic malignancies. Graduating in the top 1% of her class, Dr. Yoo was recruited early for her residency in neurosurgery, where she honed her expertise in the interdisciplinary application of combinatorial treatment strategies.
Building on the knowledge she gained during her doctoral training, she worked to integrate CAR T cell therapy with bevacizumab, temozolomide chemotherapy, and radiation therapy for neurosurgical patients with primary and recurrent glioblastoma. As part of the clinician-scientist track, Dr. Yoo has completed several certifications, including Good Clinical Practice, the Principal Investigators Course, the Clinical Trial Investigators Course, and the Munich Investigators Course. These experiences have equipped her to design translational research that effectively bridges the gap between bench and bedside.
