Gulsah Altun, Ph.D.
Gulsah Altun received her Ph.D degree in Computer Science from Georgia State University (GSU) in 2008. During her graduate studies, she developed machine learning and algorithmic graph theory approaches for the prediction of protein structures and interaction. She was the recipient of the GSU Molecular Basis of Disease Fellowship between 2006 and 2008. She was a postdoctoral researcher at the Loring lab, Center for Regenerative Medicine at The Scripps Research Institute where she was studying DNA methylation in stem cells. Her research focuses on analyzing genome-scale DNA methylation and gene expression (mRNA and miRNA) high-throughput bioinformatics data from human embryonic stem cells, parthenotes, induced pluripotent stem cells, and non-pluripotent cells by developing computational methods and using statistical approaches to understand their epigenomic differences. Her research interests are algorithms, bioinformatics, epigenetics and stem cells.

Neha Trivedi, M.D.
Neha Trivedi joined the Loring lab as a CIRM clinical fellow. She received her medical degree from the University of Pittsburgh School of Medicine. She then completed her residency in Obstetrics & Gynecology from University of California San Diego, and is currently (2010) in her 3rd year of fellowship for Maternal Fetal Medicine at the same institution. She is studying the roles of Dicer and dgcr8 in early embryogenesis with Drs. Laurent and Liao. Other interests include studying maternal obstetric diseases by examining placental pathology and correlating it with maternal and neonatal outcomes.
