Sindy Tang
Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, Senior Fellow at the Woods Institute for the Environment and Professor, by courtesy, of Radiology and of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsProf. Sindy K.Y. Tang develops engineering platforms that measure biological systems and convert these measurements into quantitative datasets. Her research focuses on experimental systems that probe biological processes across cellular and tissue scales, particularly how physical context—geometry, mechanics, and spatial organization—shapes biological function. Current work spans immune diagnostics, spatial tissue sampling for multi-omics analysis, and single-cell perturbation studies.

Hawa Racine Thiam
Assistant Professor of Bioengineering and of Microbiology and Immunology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur current work has two branches. Branch #1 is building a quantitative and predictive understanding of how neutrophils initiate and complete NETosis. Branch #2 is identifying the molecular and biophysical mechanisms that regulate high deformability in neutrophils. These branches converge onto understanding and harnessing the impact of nuclear biophysics on immune cell functions to re-engineer neutrophils for improved health.

Alice Ting
Professor of Genetics, of Biology and, by courtesy, of Chemistry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsWe develop chemogenetic and optogenetic technologies for probing and manipulating protein networks, cellular RNA, and the function of mitochondria and the mammalian brain. Our technologies draw from protein engineering, directed evolution, computational design, chemical biology, organic synthesis, microscopy, and genomics.

Sean Ku Wang, MD
Clinical Instructor, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Sean Ku Wang is a board-certified ophthalmologist and fellowship-trained retina specialist with Stanford Health Care and an Assistant Professor of Ophthalmology at Stanford University.
Dr. Wang specializes in treating diseases of the retina and macula, including age-related macular degeneration, diabetic retinopathy, central serous chorioretinopathy, and retinal vascular occlusions. He is committed to providing individualized, high-quality care to achieve the best possible outcomes for his patients.
Dr. Wang’s research aims to accelerate the development of safe and effective genetic therapies. By integrating approaches from genetics, immunology, synthetic biology, computer science, and medicine, his lab seeks to discover and translate new treatments for human diseases with an emphasis on blinding disorders. His work has been published in leading scientific journals such as Nature, Nature Biotechnology, Journal of Clinical Investigation, and Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences.
Dr. Wang has been recognized as a STAT Wunderkind, Forbes 30 Under 30, and a recipient of the American Society for Clinical Investigation Emerging-Generation Award and Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award for Medical Scientists among other honors.
