Allen Chen
Resident in Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences
BioAllen Chen is a physician-scientist and resident in the Stanford Psychiatry Research Track, mentored by Drs. Robert Malenka and Liqun Luo. His research investigates serotonergic circuit mechanisms underlying social behavior and how early life stress alters neuromodulator system development, with a focus on understanding the neurodevelopmental basis of adolescent-onset psychiatric vulnerability. He completed his MD-PhD at Stony Brook University with Dr. Qiaojie Xiong, where his thesis work characterized how nigrostriatal dopamine modulates auditory perception and fear learning. His long-term goal is to establish an independent research program studying how early experiences become biologically embedded in neuromodulatory circuits, integrating systems and molecular neuroscience with clinical training in child and adolescent psychiatry.

Xi Ying Amanda Chen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Stem Cell Transplantation
BioDr. Chen completed a Bachelor of Science (Honours) at the University of Sydney (NSW, Australia), with majors in Molecular Biology and Immunobiology. She graduated with the University Medal for her Honours research project where she investigated the novel role of DNA damage repair machinery on telomerase recruitment to telomeres. She then undertook her graduate studies at the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre (The University of Melbourne, VIC, Australia) in the Beavis laboratory, where she developed a CRISPR knock-in strategy to engineer armored CAR T cells to express therapeutic payloads in a tumor-restricted manner. She joined the Porteus laboratory in the Department of Pediatrics at Stanford University in March 2025, where she is developing strategies to enhance gene-edited hematopoietic stem cell transplantation.
