Yiyun Chen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stanford Cancer Institute
BioYiyun Chen is a computational cancer immunologist whose interdisciplinary training spans structural biology, computational genomics, and cancer immunotherapy. During her doctoral training at HKUST, she developed multi-omic frameworks to decode the molecular landscape of brain tumors, gastric cancer, and B cell lymphoma — including the discovery of a tumor-associated monocyte population in the glioma microenvironment that drives mesenchymal transformation through the FOSL2-EREG/AREG-EGFR signaling axis.
As a postdoctoral fellow in the Crystal Mackall Laboratory at Stanford Cancer Institute, she extended this focus to the co-evolution of glioma and the immune system during CAR T cell therapy, uncovering multiple mechanisms of acquired resistance: anti-CAR humoral and cellular immunity, proinflammatory-to-immunosuppressive phenotypic shifts in macrophages, and tumor antigen escape. Her future research program will build an AI-powered platform that integrates longitudinal single-cell and spatial transcriptomics to model tumor-immune co-evolution in silico — constructing patient-level digital twins that simulate treatment trajectories, predict resistance, and identify real-time monitoring biomarkers. -
Yunwei Chen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Economics
BioYunwei Chen is a Postdoctoral Scholar at Stanford University, affiliated with the Stanford Center on China's Economy and Institutions at the Freeman Spogli Institute for International Studies. She is also a Postdoctoral Fellow with the Stanford Impact Labs and a Global Health Postdoctoral Affiliate with the Stanford Center for Innovation in Global Health.
Her academic training is in global health economics. Prior to joining Stanford, she earned a PhD in Health Policy and Management (Economics Track) from the Gillings School of Global Public Health at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in 2024.
Her research explores innovative solutions for effective delivery of public health interventions in resource-limited settings through rigorous experimental and quasi-experimental designs. Her current research agenda is centered on integrating digital health technologies to develop comprehensive and tailored interventions for children and mothers living in resource-limited settings during crucial developmental stages, aiming for both effectiveness and scalability. -
Jordan C. Cheng, DMD, PhD
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stanford Cancer Institute
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research direction involves the evalutation of single-stranded library prepartion methods versus conventional double-stranded methods of cell-free DNA for non-invasive cancer profiling applications. The exploration of these technologies allow for the inference of the genomic and epigenetic features of both local and distant cell types associated with a biofluid.

Vinay Chenna
Postdoctoral Scholar, Electrical Engineering
BioVinay Chenna is an incoming tenure-track assistant professor at Columbia University. He received a B.Tech in electrical engineering from the Indian Institute of Technology (IIT) Madras, Chennai, India, in 2019, and a Ph.D. in electrical engineering from the Ming Hsieh Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering at the University of Southern California, Los Angeles, CA, USA, in 2026. His current research focuses on leveraging computational techniques and optimization algorithms to design high-performance RF and mm-Wave integrated circuits. He was a recipient of the USC ECE Ming-Hsieh Institute (MHI) PhD Scholarship in 2026-27 (voluntarily declined), USC Annenberg Fellowship in 2019, and the USC IUSSTF-Viterbi summer research award in 2018. He has won the Best Student Paper Award - 1st Place at the IEEE Radio Frequency Integrated Circuits (RFIC) Symposium in 2025, the IEEE Solid-State Circuits Society (SSCS) Predoctoral Achievement Award in 2025-26, and the IEEE Microwave Theory and Techniques Society (MTT-S) Tom Brazil Graduate Fellowship in 2026. He currently serves as a reviewer for several IEEE journals, magazines, and conferences within the IEEE SSCS, APS, CAS, and MTT-S societies.

Christina F. Chick
Instructor, Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences - Child & Adolescent Psychiatry and Child Development
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsMy research examines the mechanistic contributions of sleep, cognition and affect to the onset and course of psychiatric disorders across the lifespan. I am particularly interested in adolescence as a period during which changes in circadian rhythm, sleep architecture, and sleep behavior co-occur with neuroendocrine development, psychosocial changes, and the onset of many psychiatric disorders. Given that sleep is a highly treatable target, increasing our understanding of the specific contributions of sleep to psychiatric symptom onset may facilitate the development of targeted interventions to mitigate the course of illness.
