Lev Tsypin
Postdoctoral Scholar, Pathology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsI am working with Botryococcus braunii, a species of freshwater microscopic algae. This organism is unique among plants in that it secretes copious amounts of oil that is chemically analogous to petroleum. This organism may be the key to developing a cheap and sustainable alternative to fossil fuels, but we do not yet have the tools to engineer or optimize its oil production. My work aims to bridge this gap.

Xun Tu
Postdoctoral Scholar, Psychiatry
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsAs a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Erin Gibson’s lab, I am integrating my expertise in molecular signaling and systems neuroscience to study the role of OPCs in sleep. My interest in sleep has been further reinforced by observing the dramatic shifts in sleep architecture across developmental stages as a new parent, highlighting the necessity of sleep for neural refinement. My current research uses in vivo calcium imaging and closed-loop optogenetics to determine how OPC-neuron communication coordinates hippocampal sharp-wave ripples. By characterizing how aging blunts OPC responsiveness to sleep, I aim to identify novel strategies to preserve memory and promote healthy cognitive aging.

Yetsa A. Tuakli-Wosornu, MD, MPH
Associate Professor of Orthopaedic Surgery and of Medicine (SPRC)
BioDr. Tuakli-Wosornu is a board-certified, fellowship-trained physical medicine and rehabilitation physician (physiatrist) with Stanford Health Care and an associate professor in the Department of Orthopaedics and Sports Medicine, Division of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation.
Dr. Tuakli-Wosornu specializes in interventional spine and sports medicine treatments. She diagnoses and treats a wide range of sports medicine conditions, while helping individuals achieve high performance through holistic mind-body techniques and therapies. Her passion lies in advancing equity in sports, improving the lives of marginalized populations—including those with disabilities—and demonstrating the transformative power of sport.
Dr. Tuakli-Wosornu's multifaceted approach combines clinical expertise, cutting-edge research, and advocacy to advance sports medicine and promote inclusivity in athletics. Her research interests include evidence-based approaches to prevent injury, relieve pain, and optimize health and performance. Her research has received support from organizations such as the International Olympic Committee and the American Medical Society for Sports Medicine.
Dr. Tuakli-Wosornu has published extensively on parasports medicine, athlete safeguarding, and sports equity in prestigious, peer-reviewed journals, such as the American Journal of Physical Medicine & Rehabilitation and the British Journal of Sports Medicine, where she serves as an associate editor. Her work includes book chapters on paralympic sports and sports nutrition for paralympic athletes.
Dr. Tuakli-Wosornu is actively involved in several professional societies, including the International Blind Sports Federation, the International Olympic Committee, and Safe Sport International. She chairs numerous committees focused on athlete welfare and physical activity for people with disabilities. Through these roles, Dr. Tuakli-Wosornu promotes fair play, education, and the global benefits of sport. -

Jason Tucciarone, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences (General Psychiatry and Psychology)
BioJason Tucciarone, MD, PhD is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences at Stanford School of Medicine. A neuroscientist and psychiatrist, he leads a laboratory focused on uncovering the biological mechanisms of mental illness and developing novel therapies for mood disorders and addiction. His research centers on defining new cell types and evolutionarily conserved neural circuits involved in emotional processing, with the goal of identifying new therapeutic entry points. Using optogenetic, chemogenetic, neuroimaging, and behavioral approaches in mouse models of addiction, his lab investigates vulnerable brain circuitry underlying opioid use disorder. He also works and collaborates with the Depression Research Clinic, participating in academic and industry sponsored clinical trials investigating novel antidepressant therapies.
Clinically, Dr. Tucciarone works in Stanford’s Neuropsychiatry Clinic, where he treats patients with complex presentations at the interface of psychiatry and neurology, with particular interest in functional neurological disorders. He also sees a small cohort of psychotherapy patients in the Individual Psychotherapy Clinic and works shifts on Stanford’s inpatient psychiatry units.
Dr. Tucciarone completed his psychiatry training through Stanford’s Research Residency Track, where he conducted postdoctoral research under the supervision of Drs. Robert Malenka and Alan Schatzberg. During residency, his research examined neural circuits recruited during opioid withdrawal and explored strategies to enhance the anti-suicidal effects of ketamine through μ-opioid receptor partial agonism.
He received his bachelor’s degree in biology and philosophy from Union College, followed by three years as a Post-Baccalaureate IRTA fellow at the National Institute of Neurological Disorders and Stroke, where he developed MRI-reportable contrast agents to map neuronal connectivity. He then entered the Medical Scientist Training Program (MD/PhD) at Stony Brook University, completing his PhD in neuroscience under the mentorship of Dr. Josh Huang at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory. His doctoral work used mouse genetic approaches to dissect excitatory and inhibitory cortical circuits, with a focus on chandelier interneurons in the prefrontal cortex.
In addition to his research and clinical work, Dr. Tucciarone is deeply committed to teaching and mentorship. During residency, he helped restructure neuroscience education for trainees and currently teaches introductory lectures on the neuroscience of addiction, PTSD, psychosis, and mood disorders. He leads resident group supervision in introductory psychodynamic psychotherapy and supervises undergraduates, medical students, residents, and clinical fellows in psychiatry clinics.
