Yalun Tan
Postdoctoral Research Fellow, Anesthesiology, Perioperative and Pain Medicine
Bio As a postdoctoral fellow in Dr. Gary Peltz’s lab, my project is focused on identifying and characterizing genetic factors affecting responses to drug of abuse. As a doctoral student, I used a multidisciplinary (neuroanatomical, physiological and behavioral) approach when I studied the effect of neuropeptide signaling on social behaviors. Now, as a postdoctoral trainee, I have acquired experience with transcriptomic and epigenetic methods for studying complex biologic processes. Therefore, I can utilize state-of-the art genetic, molecular and behavioral paradigms for characterizing genetic factors affecting responses to drugs of abuse, and for identifying potential new preventative treatments for drug addiction.

Bio Dr. Vest a postdoctoral fellow in the Systems Neuroscience and Pain Lab at the Stanford School of Medicine. As a formerly incarcerated scholar, he is a strong advocate for social justice issues and public policy concerning prison reentry. His dissertation focused on applying advanced latent class analysis to better understand patient groups based upon the experiences of pain and depression during treatment with buprenorphine and naloxone. His other research interests include the intersection of mental health, substance use disorders, poverty, social justice, addiction recovery, pain, and prison reentry.
