Welcoming our new summer student: Chaoyi Cheng

Chaoyi joined our lab as a summer intern in June 2025. He is currently an undergraduate majoring in biological science at Peking University, where he conducts research on the molecular mechanisms underlying autism-related neurodevelopmental disorders using mouse and Drosophila models. Motivated by a desire to deepen his understanding of early human development, Chaoyi joined the Theunissen lab focusing on generation of stem-cell-based embryo models. In his free time, Chaoyi is a badminton player.
