Siyun is an Associate Computational Biology originally from Greenville, NC. After spending four years at Duke studying Molecular/Cell Biology and Computer Science, he decided that he was tired of North Carolina (for the time being) and escaped to Massachusetts. Siyun spent four years of undergrad in the Poss Lab, where he studied novel transcriptional complexes and p-bodies involved in Zebrafish heart regeneration. Now he spends most of his time debugging code instead of injecting embryos and genotyping.

Fun Fact: Siyun grew up in a family of martial arts masters. His father and five of his brothers all have at least a seventh degree black belt in Taekwondo, and most of their children grew up practicing Taekwondo. (Note to Rameen: be nice to Siyun.)

Quote: “A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyse a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” – Robert Heinlein
