Wen-yang Lin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe broad goal of my research interest is to identify intrinsic and extrinsic mediators of tumor growth and plasticity. My past research experiences will synergize with the expertise of Dr. Monte Winslow’s laboratory to allow the discovery of novel mechanisms of cancer progression. The integration of our molecular measurements with multiple types of ‘omics’ data will ultimately improve the diagnostic precision medicine.

Xiangping Lin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioXiangping Lin, Ph.D., is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University. He received his Ph.D. in Chemistry from Sorbonne Paris North University, Paris. Dr. Lin’s research focuses on analytical chemistry, especially mass spectrometry (Orbitrap, Q-TOF, QqQ) and NMR-based omics studies. These include, but are not limited to, metabolomics, exposomics, lipidomics, and the application in biomedical and environmental research, such as metabolism, liver disease, cancer, environmental chemicals exposure biomarkers. In addition, he has extensive experience in multivariate statistics (PCA, PLS-DA, et cetera.), variable selection (logistic regression, LASSO regression, et cetera.), and R programming. In his free time, he enjoys going to the gym, playing badminton (he organizes the Stanford postdoc badminton club), swimming, fitness, cuisine, traveling, and spending time with family and friends.

Lorraine Ling
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research focuses on the cell biology and biochemistry underlying the symbiotic relationship between corals and their partners, microscopic algae of the genus Symbiodinium. The algae live in the coral's gut tissue and provide its host products of photosynthesis while the coral provides inorganic carbon, nitrogen, and a safe habitat. I'm investigating the signaling pathways involved in 1) recognizing the correct algae partner 2) transfer of nutrients between the two.

Pardis Miri
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
BioPardis Miri, PhD, is postdoctoral fellow at Stanford University (Snyder Lab) where she is focused on building technology to facilitate mental well being. She the principal investigator of a large multi-disciplinary project to design, build, and evaluate a wearable system tailored to the needs of children with emotion dysregulation, especially, children diagnosed with autism spectrum disorder. This system aims to empower them to manage their problem behaviors in a more adaptive way. This project involves collaborations between the departments of Computer Science, Psychology, Mechanical Engineering, and the School of Medicine at Stanford University. She has assembled a team and has built an end-to-end scalable and evolvable platform, from scratch, with the support of many bright students and faculty members.
She is being advised by Professors Micheal Snyder, Professor Keith Marzullo at the University of Maryland iSchool, whose research is on distributed systems, and by Professor James Gross, whose research underlies much of what we now know about emotion regulation. She is also working with Professor Antonio Hardan of the Stanford School of Medicine, whose research is on children with Autism Spectrum Disorder. -

Han Sun
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
Biostatistician 2, Pediatrics - EndocrinologyBioHan had been a postdoc with Dr. Steinmetz at the genetics department for five years, working on both cancers and heart diseases, trying to understand the mechanisms linking from variants to disease phenotypes. This led to a few very interesting findings of aberrant splicing regulation, such as splicing-mediated readthrough stabilization (SRS), one more mechanism for oncogene activation in multiple types of cancers, and tissue-specific splicing of a mitochondrial inner membrane protein, suggesting a molecular connection between deficiency in energy-supplying and dilated cardiomyopathy.
After being a senior computational biologist with Dr. Gloyn, who has been dedicated to the research of type 2 diabetes for decades, Han switched to the field of this multifactorial metabolic disease. It did take some courage to make such a switch at his post-postdoc stage, however, Han has a consistent interest in studying PG&E, which is not pacific gas and electric nearby, but the interaction between phenotype, genotype, and environment. With years of hands-on experience in statistical modeling and the analysis of next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry data, in addition to a good understanding of disease genetics, cancer biology, and systems biology, Han is highly confident that he will enjoy the adventure and contribute to our understanding of diabetes.
