We are dedicated to training the next generation of scientists and welcome students, fellows, and scientists from all backgrounds.

In our lab, you will have the freedom—and the support—to reach your full potential.

We are molecular biologists, unraveling life’s molecular logic. We are metabolic biologists, probing the pathways that drive metabolic disease. We are neuroscientists, tracing engram circuits to decode memory. We are technology developers, crafting experimental and computational tools that integrate genetic engineering, single-cell and spatial omics, biochemistry, and AI. Together, we uncover fundamental principles and turn discovery into impact.

We invite applications for postdoctoral scholars. Email Wenfei a CV, a statement of your research interests and motivations for joining the Sun Lab, and the names and contact information of your 2-3 references, noting your relationship to each referee.
We welcome Stanford PhD and MD-PhD students from any department for rotations. Prospective graduate students may join through any Stanford programs such as Stanford Biosciences or BioEngineering. Email Wenfei a CV and a brief description of your research interests.
We welcome medical research fellows. Email Wenfei a CV and a statement of your research interests.
We are delighted to host visiting graduate students for research experiences at Stanford. Please email Wenfei a CV and a summary of your research interests.
We welcome research assistant seeking one- to two-year experimental or computational experiences between undergraduate and graduate school. Email Wenfei a CV and your research interests.
We welcome undergraduate students interested in experimental and computational biology. To apply, please email Wenfei a CV, transcript, and a one-page statement explaining why you wish to join the lab and how long you plan to stay.
