Li Wang
Assistant Professor of Biology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe study how the extraordinary diversity of cells and synapses in the brain is generated, organized, and maintained, and how these processes are disrupted in diseases such as neurodevelopmental disorders and brain cancer. By combining single-cell and spatial genomics, lineage tracing, perturbation screens, synaptic proteomics, and machine learning models, we aim to uncover the molecular rules that define neural identity and connectivity.
Our research spans two interrelated themes, each grounded in human biology and driven by cutting-edge technologies. By comparing these processes across species, we aim to uncover both conserved mechanisms and human-specific innovations that define the unique features of the human brain. -

Samantha Wang
Clinical Associate Professor, Medicine
BioDr. Samantha Wang is a Clinical Associate Professor in the Division of Hospital Medicine at Stanford University School of Medicine. She received her medical and masters in health sciences degrees from Yale School of Medicine and completed her Internal Medicine residency at Stanford, where she served as Chief Resident. She practices as a hospitalist at Stanford Health Care and works closely with residents and students in clinical teaching and mentorship. Her clinical focus is in patient-centered communication, and she directs inpatient implementation of the Serious Illness Care Program while studying strategies to improve the quality and impact of serious illness conversations for hospitalized patients.
Dr. Wang’s academic work spans health equity, medical education, and faculty development. She leads national collaborations advancing scholarship and advocacy in health equity and has received innovation grants to develop curricula addressing bias, structural racism, and diagnostic equity in clinical care. Her “5-Minute Moment for Racial Justice” curriculum has been disseminated nationally and internationally through Stanford CME and YouTube and translated into multiple languages. She received the American Board of Internal Medicine Professionalism Article Prize (2025) for her scholarship on professionalism and advancing health equity.
Dr. Wang leads faculty development initiatives within the Division of Hospital Medicine that support mentorship, scholarship, and community building. Her work focuses on creating environments where faculty can thrive academically while fostering inclusive learning communities for the next generation of physicians. In recognition of these efforts, she received the Stanford University Women’s Forum Inspiring Early Academic Career Award. -

Sui Wang, PhD
Associate Professor of Ophthalmology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research focuses on unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying retinal development and diseases. We employ genetic and genomic tools to explore how various retinal cell types, including neurons, glia, and the vasculature, respond to developmental cues and disease insults at the epigenomic and transcriptional levels. In addition, we investigate their interactions and collective contributions to maintain retinal integrity.
1. Investigating retinal development:
We utilize genetic tools and methods such as in vivo plasmid electroporation and CRISPR to dissect the roles of cis-regulatory elements and transcription factors in controlling retinal development.
2. Understanding diabetes-induced cell-type-specific responses in the retina:
Diabetes triggers a range of multicellular responses in the retina, such as vascular lesions, glial dysfunction, and neurodegeneration, all of which contribute to retinopathy. We delve into the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying these diabetes-induced cell-type-specific responses and the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy.
3. Developing molecular tools for labeling and manipulation of specific cell types in vivo:
Cis-regulatory elements, particularly enhancers, play pivotal roles in directing tissue- and cell-type-specific expression. Our interest lies in identifying enhancers that can drive cell type-specific expression in the retina and brain. We incorporate these enhancers into plasmid or AAV-based delivery systems, enabling precise labeling and manipulation of specific cell types in vivo. -
