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.
