A departure and a welcome!

With a tear in our eye, we bid farewell to Maggie as she embarks on her new journey to lead her own laboratory and develop a robust research program focused on inner ear organoids and CRISPR-based tools to study cell fate decisions. She will stay connected with us as an external mentor for Jiayi’s thesis project. I am fully confident that Maggie will be highly successful and be an excellent mentor for her students at Merrimack College.

We also welcome Xiangyu Ma, our new postdoc who has just begun his journey in our laboratory. I look forward to seeing Xiangyu take on exciting projects in our lab, and I wish him success, as well as a fun and rewarding experience at Stanford.
