Eitan Yaffe
Affiliate, Medicine - Med/Infectious Diseases
BioDr. Eitan Yaffe is a computational biologist studying the evolution of natural microbial communities under selective pressures, such as antibiotics. He is currently a research associate in the lab of Dr. David Relman at Stanford University, where he develops experimental and computational approaches to investigate strain dynamics, horizontal gene transfer, and the emergence of antimicrobial resistance in the human microbiome.
Dr. Yaffe holds a PhD in Computer Science from the Weizmann Institute of Science, where he focused on epigenetics and chromatin folding. He earned his MSc in Computer Science with a specialization in the 3D structure of protein channels, and his BSc in Mathematics and Computer Science from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. -
Lisa Yamada
Software Developer 2, SoM - CNC - Cracking the Neural Code
BioLisa Yamada is a PhD candidate in Electrical Engineering, working with Professor Paul Nuyujukian in the Brain Interfacing Laboratory at Stanford University. She is interested in applying data science and engineering tools for medical applications towards higher quality and more equitable care. As a computational neuroscientist and clinical research coordinator, she is currently investigating quantitative measures for seizure analyses using human neuroelectrophysiology data (e.g., intracortical EEGs of participants with refractory epilepsy). She graduated from Trinity College (Hartford, CT) with BS degrees in Electrical Engineering and Mathematics and earned her MS in Electrical Engineering from Stanford University. In her free time, she enjoys outdoor activities like hiking.

Fan Yang
Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and of Bioengineering
On Leave from 03/01/2026 To 03/31/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur lab’s mission is to develop therapies for regenerating human tissues lost due to diseases or aging, and to build tissue engineered 3D models for understanding disease progression and informing drug discovery. We invent biomaterials and engineering tools to elucidate and modulate biology, and also use biology to inform materials and engineering design. Our work is highly interdisciplinary, and is driven by unmet clinical needs or key gaps in biology.
