Sui Wang, PhD
Associate Professor of Ophthalmology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsOur research focuses on unraveling the molecular mechanisms underlying retinal development and diseases. We employ genetic and genomic tools to explore how various retinal cell types, including neurons, glia, and the vasculature, respond to developmental cues and disease insults at the epigenomic and transcriptional levels. In addition, we investigate their interactions and collective contributions to maintain retinal integrity.
1. Investigating retinal development:
We utilize genetic tools and methods such as in vivo plasmid electroporation and CRISPR to dissect the roles of cis-regulatory elements and transcription factors in controlling retinal development.
2. Understanding diabetes-induced cell-type-specific responses in the retina:
Diabetes triggers a range of multicellular responses in the retina, such as vascular lesions, glial dysfunction, and neurodegeneration, all of which contribute to retinopathy. We delve into the detailed molecular mechanisms underlying these diabetes-induced cell-type-specific responses and the pathogenesis of diabetic retinopathy.
3. Developing molecular tools for labeling and manipulation of specific cell types in vivo:
Cis-regulatory elements, particularly enhancers, play pivotal roles in directing tissue- and cell-type-specific expression. Our interest lies in identifying enhancers that can drive cell type-specific expression in the retina and brain. We incorporate these enhancers into plasmid or AAV-based delivery systems, enabling precise labeling and manipulation of specific cell types in vivo. -

Tauska Lan
Affiliate, Genetics - BASE
BioI'm an ML engineer specializing in LLM post-training and agentic systems—with a particular focus on domains where rigor matters: health, biology, and scientific discovery.
Long-horizon agents — Designed and shipped multi-step orchestration systems (Pantheon-CLI, OmicVerse Agent) that outperform general SWE-agent baselines on biomedical tasks. Built cross-provider query routing and sandboxed execution to keep complex workflows robust over extended interactions. My agents don't just respond—they plan, recover from failure, and complete real research pipelines end-to-end.
Agentic science — Created infrastructure where AI doesn't assist research—it conducts it. Vectorized 30 years of NHANES data; parallelized Bayesian kernel machine regression on Kubernetes; built TCGA/GEO pipelines that bridge wet-lab and dry-lab workflows. Co-developed OmicVerse, an open-source platform powering reproducible multi-omics and single-cell analyses across hundreds of studies.
Experience engineering — Scaled rubric-based reward datasets to 1M+ pairs; trained summary and chain-of-thought reward models via RLAIF/RLHF; delivered measurable benchmark lifts in health AI. I care about the full loop: data curation → reward shaping → careful ablation → verifiable outcome—no cherry-picked demos—just metrics that survive scrutiny.
Currently pursuing advanced agentic studies at Karolinska Institutet and Stanford!
Open-source: OmicVerse · Pantheon-CLI · RAG Web UI · AstrBot
If you're working on post-training at scale, scientific agents, or high-integrity data pipelines—I'm always interested in systems that move from promising results to verifiable outcomes. Let's talk. -

Yidan Wang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Neonatal and Developmental Medicine
BioI joined Dr. John Benjamin’s lab to study the heterogeneity of neutrophils across developmental stages and during bronchopulmonary dysplasia (BPD). My research focuses on characterizing neutrophil subsets and investigating the contributions of distinct neutrophil subsets to the development of BPD.
My predoctoral training was completed at Northwestern University under the co-mentorship of Dr. Harris Perlman and Dr. Deborah Winter. I studied the heterogeneity and functions of monocyte-lineage cells and macrophages in mouse synovial tissue under both steady-state and inflammatory arthritis conditions. -

Dr. Zhiyong Wang
Professor (By Courtesy), Biology
BioDr. Wang is the acting director of the Department of Plant Biology, Carnegie Institution for Science, and a professor by courtesy of the Department of Biology, Stanford University. He is currently an associate editor of Molecular Cellular Proteomics, and editorial board member of Molecular Plant. He is a Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS) and recipient of the Humboldt Research Prize.
Dr. Wang obtained his Ph.D. in 1998 from UCLA, where he cloned the plant circadian clock gene CCA1. He did his postdoctoral research at the Salk Institute, where he studied the brassinosteroid signaling mechanism mediated by the BRI1 receptor kinase. Since joining Carnegie in 2001, his research has illustrated the receptor kinase signaling pathway that links the BRI1 receptor kinase to the BZR1 transcription factor and brassinosteroid-responsive genes in the Arabidopsis genome. He further demonstrated how the steroid signaling pathway integrates at the molecular level with other hormonal pathways, light signaling pathways, nutrient-sensing pathways, immunity pathways, and the circadian clock, to coordinately regulate plant growth and development. His lab uses combinations of genomic and proteomic approaches to understand how cellular signals are transduced and integrated through posttranslational modifications (e.g. phosphorylation and O-Glycosylation) and protein-protein interactions. His studies are elucidating the molecular mechanisms that control plant growth and mediate responses to environmental changes. -
