Kung Chun Chiu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioI studied the tumor microenvironment of liver cancer during my graduate training in Hong Kong. Here at Stanford, I am using different genome editing tools and mouse models to investigate the role of macrophages in promoting tumor progression and immune tolerance in liver cancer. Our findings indicate that tumor associated macrophages including Kupffer cells, have a profound impact on liver cancer and I am studying the molecular basis for these effects.

Laetitia Coassolo (Voilquin)
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioI received my PharmD from the University of Strasbourg (France) in 2018. I completed my PhD in Oncology and Cell Biology in 2020 in Dr. Catherine Tomasetto's group in IGBMC (France) studying cell metabolism and cell signaling in breast cancer. I am now a postdoctal fellow in Dr. Katrin Svensson lab and I am highly interested in understanding the molecular mechanisms of non-classical hormones in metabolic diseases.

Ronaldo da Silva Francisco Jr
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioI am a geneticist focused on the application of computational and statistical methods to study genetic mechanisms of disease. My research interests include (i) genomic and precision medicine; (ii) detection and analysis of genetic variants using NGS data (WGS, WES, RNA-Seq); and (iii) transcriptome and allele-specific expression.

Jelle Folkerts
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioMy current endeavours focus on the identification of human mast cell degranulation regulators using a whole-genome CRISPR knockout library screen, and the validation of these findings using our recently developed technology platform. It is my long-standing goal to contribute to the design and development of specific and effective therapeutic interventions for mast cell-mediated diseases.

Connie Fung
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioConnie received her B.S. in Microbiology, Immunology, and Molecular Genetics from UCLA, where she conducted research on how the eukaryotic parasite Toxoplasma gondii invades and replicates inside host cells in the lab of Dr. Peter Bradley. Subsequently, she obtained her Ph.D. in Microbiology & Immunology from Stanford University with Dr. Manuel Amieva. Her thesis research involved the use of high-resolution microscopy to study how the bacterium Helicobacter pylori establishes and maintains persistent colonization of the gastric epithelium. Connie joined Dr. Michael Howitt's lab as a postdoctoral research fellow in 2019 and is currently investigating how tuft cells, specialized taste-chemosensory cells, modulate epithelial cell function and mucosal immunity in response to intestinal parasites and commensals.

Elias Roth Gerrick
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioEli received his B.S. in Microbiology and Immunology from U.C. Irvine in 2013, where he worked in the lab of Dr. Celia Goulding. He earned his Ph.D. from Harvard University in 2018 in the lab of Dr. Sarah Fortune, where he studied post-transcriptional regulation of gene expression in Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Eli joined the Howitt lab at Stanford in the summer of 2018, where he is studying the influence of protozoan members of the microbiome on intestinal immunity.

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.

Solene Moulin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioI am a very curious person who likes to understand how things work and I love to contribute to new discoveries that will help to cope with tomorrow’s challenges. After my studies at the Ecole Normale Supérieure Ulm, I got specialized in plant science. I am interested in this research field because plants are critical for environment as well as for food and bio-energy production. In 2016, I joined CEA Cadarache for my PhD which led me to participate in a research program on hydrocarbon synthesis in algae. I really liked this project which was focusing on both reaching a bio-based production of hydrocarbons for fuel production and deciphering of the hydrocarbon synthesis pathway in algae. I have been leading research to assess the occurrence of this pathway in the different types of eukaryotic algae, its evolutionary history and its relevance for algal physiology. I am now going to study another evolutionary history that has led to a symbiosis between a diatom and a N-fixing cyanobacteria, the latest being on its way to become an organelle. Understanding the physiological relationship between the diatom and the cyanobacteria will help understanding nitrogen cycle and could lead to major innovations in farming.
