Postdoctoral Fellows

Guo, Chuner is a general surgery resident at Stanford currently pursuing postdoctoral training. She completed her B.S in Quantitative Biology and B.A. in Chemistry at The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, and her M.D. and Ph.D. at Washington University in St. Louis. She has previously studied the mechanism of cell fate reprogramming using single-cell technologies. She is interested in understanding the heterogeneity in cancer-associated fibroblasts. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, eating spicy food, running, and spending time with friends and family.

Griffin, Michelle is an UK academic plastic surgery resident from the University College London (UCL). After completing her PhD in tissue engineering, she is now taking some time to complete her postdoctoral training in the field of molecular biology. She will spend her time in the Longaker Lab investigating craniofacial wound healing. In her free time, Michelle enjoys skiing, playing golf and enjoying jazz music with her husband.

Liang, Norah is a general surgery resident from the Massachusetts General Hospital who is a completing her Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Longaker lab. Norah is originally from Long Island, NY and graduated from Harvard University with her AB in Chemistry, and from UCSF with her MD. She has previously conducted translational research on targeted cancer chemotherapeutics, and outcomes research in cardiac and pediatric surgery. She is an aspiring pediatric surgeon, with a broad interest in understanding surgical applications of fibrosis. Outside of work, Norah enjoys running, baking, and exploring farmer's markets.

Guo, Jason is a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Longaker Lab. He completed his B.S. in Biomedical Engineering at Northwestern University and earned his Ph.D. in Bioengineering at Rice University, where he developed click functionalized hydrogels and scaffolds for osteochondral repair. In the Longaker Lab, he is studying the biological mechanisms of fibrosis and wound healing. In his free time, Jason enjoys powerlifting, making electronic music, and hanging out with his cat, Potato.

Li, Dayan (Jack) is a post-doctoral scholar in the Longaker Lab and a Clinical Scholar in the Stanford department of dermatology. He completed his post-graduate training in the Harvard-MIT MD-PhD program and his dermatology residency at Stanford. For his PhD, he investigated the genetics of whole-body regeneration in planaria and is studying the cellular and molecular mechanisms of skin fibrosis in the Longaker Lab. For leisure he enjoys running, listening to Brazilian music, and growing rare orchids.

Tomasso, Antonio is an NWO Rubicon Postdoctoral Scholar. He earned a BSc and a MSc in Medical and Molecular Biotechnology from Vita-Salute San Raffaele University, and a PhD in Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences at the Max Planck Institute for Molecular Biomedicine. He explored the molecular mechanisms underlying how different organisms, from planarians to axolotls, spiny mice and lab mice, heal through regeneration or fibrosis after injury. He conducted research across five countries, including at the Karolinska Institute, University of Kentucky, Max Planck Institute and Hubrecht Institute. At Stanford, he investigates the molecular drivers of fibroblast activation in organ fibrosis and regeneration, aiming to identify druggable targets to enhance tissue repair. Outside the lab, he enjoys outreach and volunteering in local communities, gym workouts, track running, mindfulness, growing avocado plants and engaging in new activities. He is also on a quest to find the perfect espresso in the area.

Reveron, Rosyli is a general surgery resident at Stanford, currently spending her professional development time in the Longaker Lab, where she studies immune suppression mechanisms in pancreatic cancer. Born in Mexico and raised in Victorville, CA as a "Dreamer," she started her college education at a community college, later transferring to California State University to earn a BS and MS in Biology. She completed her medical training at Stanford School of Medicine as a DACA student. In her free time, Rosyli enjoys spending time with her family, including her husband Elijah and their dog Santiago, as well as cooking and playing or watching sports like tennis, basketball, soccer, and pickle ball.

Takematsu, Eri is a postdoctoral scholar in Dr. Longaker's lab. She earned her Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from the University of Texas at Austin and completed her initial postdoctoral training with Dr. Charles Chan at Stanford University. After the unfortunate passing of Dr. Chan, she transitioned to Dr. Longaker’s lab to continue her research on skeletal stem cell biology. Her primary focus is on controlling the pleiotropic effects of therapeutic proteins, such as Bone Morphogenetic Protein-2 (BMP-2), to enhance current skeletal regenerative therapies. Eri’s scientific achievements have been recognized by numerous organizations, earning her multiple young investigator awards from the American Heart Association, the Society for Biomaterials, the American Society for Bone and Mineral Research, and the California Institute of Regenerative Medicine.

Agolia, James is a general surgery resident at Stanford Hospital. During his dedicated research time, he is pursuing his interest in cancer biology and immunology by applying single cell RNA sequencing technology to rare abdominal tumors. In his free time, he enjoys spending time with his family and getting outdoors.
