Ledong Wan, Ph.D.
Principal Investigator
After a Bachelor's degree in Pharmacology and a Master's degree in Medicinal Chemistry at China Pharmaceutical University, Ledong pursued his PhD in Pathology, focusing on RNA regulation in cancer. He then joined Adrian Krainer's lab at Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory for his postdoctoral research, concentrating on the pathological RNA splicing in pancreatic cancer.
Neelu Singh, Ph.D.
Postdoctoral Fellow
Neelu completed her PhD in Nanotoxicology from SES, JNU. In the lab, she is working on understanding the role of alternative splicing in the crosstalk between cancer cells and the tumor microenvironment. As a nature lover, she is excited to travel and visit new places.
Kevin Coughlin
Undergraduate Student
Kevin is an undergraduate student in his senior year studying Biochemistry and Applied Mathematics. In the lab, he is currently studying the impact of splicing factors on maintaining homeostasis and cell plasticity in tumor cells at both the tumor-wide and single-cell levels. Outside the lab, he enjoys reading and being a part of the marching band here at Stony Brook.
Christopher Luo
Undergraduate Student
Chris is currently a sophomore studying Biological Sciences at Cornell University. He is on a pre-medical track with interests in both orthopedics and pediatrics. In addition, Chris is interested in computational biology, and his work within the lab involves studying RNA splicing mechanisms using RNA sequencing and microarray data. In his free time, Chris enjoys playing basketball, going to the gym, and spending time with friends and family.
