Linda (Yu-Ling) Lan
Basic Life Res Scientist, Genetics
BioLinda Lan, DVM, PhD is a postdoctoral fellow in the Snyder Lab. Her research focuses on understanding long-term illness post-acute infections by using a combination of different types of data (multi-omics) and wearable technologies. Currently, Linda is working on three projects.
The first project involves studying the shared mechanisms of long COVID, ME/CFS, and PTLDS using smartwatches and micro-sampling. The second project involves examining the role of autoantibodies in long COVID patients and COVID vaccine side effects. The third project involves exploring the changes in the molecular and physiological responses of astronauts during short space flights using multi-omics and wearable devices.
Linda previously conducted her PhD research at the University of Chicago, where she studied memory B cell responses to a chimeric-based universal influenza virus vaccine candidate. In her leisure time, she enjoys running, hiking, and listening to audiobooks. -
Matthew Landry
Member, Maternal & Child Health Research Institute (MCHRI)
BioCurrent research focuses on identifying the optimal diet (or diets) for chronic disease prevention and addressing the challenges of designing, implementing and reporting clinical trials that test dietary patterns. Particularly interested behavioral interventions that promote plant-forward and plant-based diets. Passionate advocator for policies that address nutrition-related health inequalities particularly in low resource settings and/or with communities experiencing health inequalities related to food insecurity and structural disparities.

Jill Laufer
Postdoctoral Scholar, Education
BioJill R. Laufer researches civic engagement, education and learning, communication and media, and political behavior, with a particular focus on youth issues and public policy. She is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in The Politics of Education Lab at Stanford University's Graduate School of Education.
Using experimental, survey, and computational methods, she examines how people, especially young people, engage with politics in a polarized and rapidly changing media and political landscape, and how media coverage and mobilization messaging shape trust and participation. She is a co-author of "Catching Fire in the News: The Necessary Conditions for Media Storms" (Cambridge University Press, 2026), and her work has appeared in Nature, The Forum and the SSRC, and has won TESS Young Investigators' Competition for Experimental research. Before entering academia, she worked as a creative director and visual designer in medical and health education, an experience that continues to influence her approach to research, teaching, and public engagement.
She received her Ph.D. in Political Science from the University of California, Davis in 2025, her M.A. in Political Science with distinction from San Francisco State University, and her B.A. in Anthropology from Northern Arizona University.
