Fan Yang
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Pathology
Bio Fan Yang has a broad background in Computational Biology, Genomics, Oncology, Immunology, and their intersections. She did her Ph.D. at the University of Toronto and participated in several inspiring and cutting-edge projects focusing on assessing the functionality and immunogenicity of human genomic variants both experimentally and computationally. She joined the Boyd lab at Stanford for her postdoctoral work to study the B cell and T cell repertoires in human infectious diseases and vaccine responses.

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.

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 Louise 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.

Lequan Yu
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Radiation Physics
Bio I am a postdoctoral research fellow at Stanford University, working with Prof. Lei Xing. Before that, I obtained my Ph.D. degree in the Department of Computer Science and Engineering, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, supervised by Prof. Pheng-Ann Heng and Prof. Chi-Wing Fu in July 2019. Previously, I received the B. Eng degree from the Department of Computer Science and Technology at Zhejiang University in 2015, under the supervision of Prof. Deng Cai.
My research lies at the intersection of medical image analysis and artificial intelligence. I am dedicated to designing data-efficient learning methods for biomedical image analysis. I also have expertise in deep learning for 3D vision.
