Lianna Wat
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
BioLianna obtained her Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology in Dr. Elizabeth Rideout’s lab at the University of British Columbia in 2021 where she studied the sex-specific regulation of fat metabolism using Drosophila as a model system. Lianna is bringing her expertise on sex differences and fat metabolism to the Svensson lab where she is interested in understanding in discovering secreted metabolic effectors that regulate male-female differences in energy metabolism and the development of metabolic disease

Alexis Thomas Weiner
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe planar cell polarity (PCP) signaling pathway polarizes animal cells along an axis parallel to the tissue plane, and in so doing generates long-range organization that can span entire tissues. Although its core proteins and much about their interactions are known, how PCP signaling occurs at a mechanistic level remains fundamentally mysterious. In my current project I will employ novel genetic methods to dissect the logic underlying how cellular asymmetry arises at a molecular level.

Rain Runxia Wen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioRain Runxia Wen obtained her B.Sc. (Hons) in biology in 2012, and her Ph.D. degree in cell and developmental biology in 2018. She joined the Goldberg Lab in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University in 2019. She is currently developing epigenetic tools to promote neuroregeneration, especially retinal ganglion cell, and optic nerve regeneration.
