Wenting Chen
Postdoctoral Scholar, Radiation Physics
BioI am currently a Postdoc Fellow in the Department of Radiation Oncology of Stanford University, advised by Prof. Lei Xing. Before joining Stanford, I obtained my Ph.D degree in the Department of Electrical Engineering, City University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Yixuan YUAN, Prof. W.S Tommy Chow, and Prof. L.H. Leanne Chan. I visited Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, supervised by Prof. Xiang Li and Prof. Quanzheng Li. Before that, I received the B. Eng and M. Eng degree from College of Computer Science and Software Engineering in Shenzhen University of China in 2017 and 2020, supervised by Prof. Linlin Shen. From Dec. 2019 to Nov. 2020, I had interned in Tencent Jarvis Lab, supervised by Dr. Shuang Yu and Prof. Yefeng Zheng.
My research interests lie in vision-language model, multi-modal large language model, generative AI, computer vision and their applications on medical AI, with a focus on report generation, medical image synthesis, endoscopy super-resolution, retinal image segmentation, multi-modality diagnosis, etc. -

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.
