Fangdi Sun
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Oncology)
BioDr. Sun is a medical oncologist and clinical investigator at Stanford University. She specializes in the treatment of patients with head and neck malignancies, with specific interests in virus-driven malignancies and novel, biomarker-guided therapies in head and neck cancer. She received her medical degree from Harvard Medical School, followed by a residency and chief residency at the University of California, San Francisco, and then served as chief fellow in hematology and medical oncology at Stanford University. She has earned honors and recognition from the American Association of Cancer Research (AACR), American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO), and International Association for the Study of Lung Cancer (IASLC), among other organizations.

Han Sun
Postdoctoral Scholar, Genetics
Biostatistician 2, Pediatrics - EndocrinologyBioHan had been a postdoc with Dr. Steinmetz at the genetics department for five years, working on both cancers and heart diseases, trying to understand the mechanisms linking from variants to disease phenotypes. This led to a few very interesting findings of aberrant splicing regulation, such as splicing-mediated readthrough stabilization (SRS), one more mechanism for oncogene activation in multiple types of cancers, and tissue-specific splicing of a mitochondrial inner membrane protein, suggesting a molecular connection between deficiency in energy-supplying and dilated cardiomyopathy.
After being a senior computational biologist with Dr. Gloyn, who has been dedicated to the research of type 2 diabetes for decades, Han switched to the field of this multifactorial metabolic disease. It did take some courage to make such a switch at his post-postdoc stage, however, Han has a consistent interest in studying PG&E, which is not pacific gas and electric nearby, but the interaction between phenotype, genotype, and environment. With years of hands-on experience in statistical modeling and the analysis of next-generation sequencing and mass spectrometry data, in addition to a good understanding of disease genetics, cancer biology, and systems biology, Han is highly confident that he will enjoy the adventure and contribute to our understanding of diabetes. -
