With background in Pharmaceutical Sciences, Haiyun is passionate about advancing human health through chemical and biological technologies and is currently interested in developing new techniques for transcriptomics. Outside of lab, she enjoys photography, traveling, and exploring boba shops.

Having a bit of background in Engineering and being fascinated by the beauty of life, Chuqi is interested in developing new seqFISH methods to study single-cell biology. Outside of lab, she enjoys photography, playing table tennis, and traveling.

Alexi is fascinated by cellular variety in organisms and the myriad of signaling pathways that shape cell function. When not in lab trying to section the perfect tissue slice, Alexi enjoys caring for her plants, doing yoga, running, and thinking about how she should start to paint again.

Inside and outside of lab, Chris loves designing and building stuff and exploring new music

Saori studied biology in Tokyo, working with moths. After moving to LA, she’s now in deep with flies when she’s in lab. Saori is happiest when she is looking into the microscope and pipetting.

Unlike at the lab, Jina is very shy outside of work and she loves to spend her time looking at cute puppy pictures.
