Albert Y. Wu, MD, PhD, FACS
Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy translational research focuses on using autologous stem cells to recreate a patient’s ocular tissues for potential transplantation. We are generating tissue from induced pluripotent stem cells to treat limbal stem cell deficiency in patients who are bilaterally blind. By applying my background in molecular and cellular biology, stem cell biology, oculoplastic surgery, I hope to make regenerative medicine a reality for those suffering from orbital and ocular disease.

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.

Courtney Wusthoff, MD
Professor of Neurology (Pediatric 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.

BioFeng Xie is currently a postdoctoral scholar at Stanford University School of Medicine, and he recently graduated with a joint Ph.D. degree from Duke University and the National University of Singapore. He previously obtained his bachelor’s degree from Tsinghua University, Beijing, China, in 2017. His research focuses on developing novel informatics methodologies and applying them to various healthcare domains, including children’s health, critical care, and emergency medicine. He extensively utilized large-scale multimodal data including electronic health records (EHR), clinical notes, and medical signal data, to address critical healthcare challenges. In his Ph.D. and postdoctoral training, he developed multiple advanced methods and informatics tools, including AutoScore, MIMIC-IV-ED benchmark, and NeonatalBERT. Used by other researchers globally, some of them have been applied to a wide range of clinical applications including risk prediction and model benchmarking, resulting in dozens of publications by other users. Specifically, AutoScore software has been downloaded more than 10,000 times from the R CRAN platform. and the original paper has garnered over 70 official citations for about 2 years.
Over 5 years, he published 8 first-author research papers in high-impact journals in the field, with a total impact factor of over 60. His extensive collaborations with clinicians, engineers, and health service researchers also resulted in 12 co-author papers. -

Jian Xiong
Postdoctoral Scholar, Chemical Engineering
BioI thrive to understand the roles of lysosomes in physiological and pathological conditions. Lysosomes are both degradation compartment and metabolic controlling hub, and dysregulation of lysosomal functions are frequently implicated in a vast number of diseases including neurodegenerative diseases, however, the systematic knowledge of the molecular mechanism by which lysosomal contributes to these diseases is lacking. Ion channels are the primary mediators of neuronal activity, defects in neuronal ion channel activity are linked with many kinds of neurodegenerative diseases. Interestingly, besides typical ion channels that are involved in the neuronal activity, defects in lysosomal ion channels, such as TRPML1, CLN7 and CLC-7 are also implicated in neuropathy. My previous work as Ph.D student in University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center focused on regulation of lysosomal function by ion channels and metabolites. I discovered a mechanism of lysosomal Na+ channel regulate mTORC1 activation by regulating lysosomal amino acid accumulation. I also discovered role of glutamine in controlling lysosomal degradation capacity. In the meantime, I developed novel methods to isolate organelles. My ultimate research goal is to understand the key developmental pathways and how alterations in gene sequences and expression contribute to human disease, therefore, I am pursuing independent academic researcher as my career goal. Starting Feb 2022, I work with Dr. Monther Abu-Remaileh at Stanford University on role of lysosomes in neurodegenerative diseases. I use genetics, chemical biology and omics approaches to study lysosome function under various physiological and pathological conditions, especially age-associated neurodegenerative disorders, and monogenic neurodegenerative lysosome storage diseases. In Stanford, I aim to integrate ionic regulation, metabolomic regulation and functional proteomic regulation to systematically understand the biology of lysosome in physiological conditions and pathological conditions.

Justin Xu
Graduate, Medicine, Radiology
BioJustin is currently studying for a PhD in Biomedical Data Science at the University of Oxford. His research aims to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) to decipher clinical data and enhance healthcare. Specifically, his current doctoral work focuses on developing, deploying, and evaluating AI/ML tools to help hospitals manage patient demand. Justin is co-advised by Professor David W. Eyre, Professor A. Sarah Walker, and Professor David A. Clifton.
In January 2024, Justin began his visit to Stanford University as a Canadian Fulbrighter. He joined the Centre for Artificial Intelligence in Medicine & Imaging (AIMI) to develop multimodal generative AI in radiology under Dr. Curtis P. Langlotz.
Prior to beginning his doctoral studies, Justin worked with Dr. Alistair E. W. Johnson at the Hospital for Sick Children in Canada. During this time, he worked with the MIMIC-IV dataset and deployed a clinical terminology annotation dashboard to support multi-site analyses of electronic health records with natural language processing. Additionally, he contributed to the task querying features of "EventStreamGPT", a pre-processing and modelling library designed for generative pre-trained transformers and medical record time series.

Qianru Xu
Affiliate, Psych/General Psychiatry and Psychology (Adult)
Visiting Postdoctoral Scholar, Psych/General Psychiatry and Psychology (Adult)BioI am currently a postdoctoral fellow at the Center for Machine Vision and Signal Analysis at the University of Oulu, Finland, and a visiting research scholar at the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford University, USA. My research is deeply rooted in the study of neural signatures and their relation to behavioral changes, especially in the context of understanding emotions and associated affective disorders. The core aim of my work is to unravel the complex neural underpinnings of emotion through the Emotion AI engine, which could lead to more effective diagnostic tools and therapeutic strategies for various emotional and behavioral disturbances.
In addition to my academic and research pursuits, I love to travel and scuba dive. I've been lucky enough to visit 51 countries and have spent more than 3,000 minutes underwater. These experiences, exploring different cultures and the world, are an ongoing and cherished part of my journey.
