Hsuan-Te (Miriam) Sun

Hsuan-Te (Miriam) Sun is a postdoctoral scholar in the O’Brien Lab. She received her B.S. in Biology from the California Institute of Technology in 2020, where she studied cell migration dynamics during Drosophilaembryogenesis as an undergraduate researcher in the lab of Dr. Angela Stathopoulos. She then earned her PhD in Developmental Biology from Stanford University in 2026. As a graduate student in the O’Brien Lab, she combined genetics, live imaging, quantitative analysis, and mathematical modeling to reveal how injury transiently rewires Delta-Notch feedback to accelerate stem cell differentiation in the adult Drosophila gut.
