Whitney Weber
Postdoctoral Scholar, Infectious Diseases
BioWhitney is a postdoctoral scholar in the laboratory of Dr. Joelle Rosser at Stanford University investigating the impacts of climate change on arbovirus infection acquisition in a mother-child human cohort in Indonesia. She recently completed her PhD in 2024 focused in viral immunology in the laboratory of Dr. Daniel Streblow at Oregon Health and Science University. She has 4+ years of experience focused in antibody-mediated immunity to emerging pathogenic alphaviruses. Her dissertation research focused on characterizing cross-reactive immunity in the context of alphavirus infection and vaccination in an effort to develop cross-protective alphavirus vaccines. Her post-bacc work included 2+ years of research experience in HIV immunology studying the mechanism of HIV cure and evaluating therapeutics in NHP. Her long-term research and career interests are rooted in studying the mechanisms of viral emergence, viral surveillance and seroprevalence in various hosts, identifying cross-reactive immune responses, and developing multivalent vaccine approaches for emerging viruses.

Ruolun Wei
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neurosurgery
BioRuolun Wei, MD, PhD, is a postdoctoral scholar in the Department of Neurosurgery at Stanford University. Dr. Wei’s work centers on neuro-oncology, with particular emphasis on brain tumor recurrence, treatment resistance, and tumor metabolism. He is also a board-certified neurosurgeon, currently focusing on full-time research. His research aims to bridge the gap between clinical practice and laboratory investigation, conducting translational research that moves from bedside to bench and back to bedside to improve therapeutic outcomes for patients with malignant brain tumors.

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.
