Leeat Yankielowicz-Keren
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio The immune system plays a critical role in modulating cancer progression. However, knowledge of the composition, phenotype, organization, and interactions between immune cells and tumor cells is limited. Leeat applies multiplexed imaging to study the interplay between the tumor and the immune system. She develops computational tools that allow to tease various layers of information from rich multiplexed-imaging data and employ them to infer design principles in tumor-immune interactions.

Yee Hui Yeo
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Gastroenterology
Bio Dr. Yeo is a postdoctoral research fellow in the Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Stanford University Medical Center. He obtained his MD at National Defense Medical Center, Taiwan. He underwent internship training at Taichung Veterans General Hospital, where he also worked as a research fellow under the guidance of Prof. Chun-Ying Wu. He received a Master in Global Health Science at Oxford University at 2016.
The overall goal of his research is to advance public health to prevent and treat chronic liver diseases using large-scale databases. He is also interested in performing meta-analysis and Bayesian network meta-analysis for evidence synthesis.
Under the guidance of Prof. Mindie Nguyen, he actively uses Truven Health MarketScan Research Database (150 million), The Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development (OSHPD) of California (16 million), UK Biobank (0.5 million), NHANES database, single-center Stanford-based cohorts, multi-center Bay Area consortium, as well as collaborative international cohorts to study the natural history, health disparities, and cascade of care of chronic liver diseases.
He is also interested in putting effort on viral hepatitis elimination. For HBV infection, he evaluates the coverage of HBV vaccination in children and adolescents as well as adults who are at high risk of infection to identify the groups who need vaccination. For HCV infection, he determines the efficacy of direct-acting antiviral drugs and reveals predictors for achieving sustained virological response (SVR).
Dr. Yeo serves as a Global Outreach Subcommittee of the AASLD Clinical Practice Special Interest Group.
He serves as reviewer for Annals of Internal Medicine, BMJ, Journal of Crohn’s and Colitis, Journal Gastroenterology and Hepatology, BMC gastroenterology, United European Gastroenterology Journal, European Journal of Gastroenterology & Hepatology, and Digestive Disease and Sciences. -
Melis Yilmaz Balban
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Neurobiology
Current Research and Scholarly Interests I’m interested in understanding the neurobiology of fear. In my graduate work I discovered a novel innate fear response in mice; extended freezing or fleeing into a nest in response to the visual display of an approaching object. I investigated the roles of neural circuits in the retina in driving these behaviors. For my postdoctoral work, I would like to study visual fear behaviors and neural circuitry in primate models due to their similarity to humans.

Jennifer Young
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Biomedical Ethics
Bio Dr. Jennifer Young is a trained couples and family therapist working across the fields of public health, mental health, family systems, and genetics. She completed her PhD in Family Science at the University of Maryland in June 2018. Prior to receiving her doctorate, she received a BA (Psychology and Chinese) from the University of Wisconsin Madison, an MA (East Asian Languages and Literature) from The Ohio State University, and an MS in Couples and Family Therapy from the University of Maryland. She recently completed a four-year fellowship at the NIH in the National Cancer Institute’s Clinical Genetics Branch where she worked as a psychosocial qualitative research specialist and mental health clinician. At the NCI, her dissertation research outlined the unique social and psychological needs of families with a Li Fraumeni Syndrome, a rare cancer predisposition syndrome. Her research currently focuses on advocacy for culturally competent mental health resources for families undergoing genetic testing for inherited health conditions.
