Truong Ly

Faculty host: Jonathan Long                   

Affiliated with: Department of Pathology, School of Medicine

Truong Ly earned a doctorate in neuroscience from the University of California, San Francisco in August 2025. His graduate research revealed how neural networks in the brain stem promote satiety after a meal. Ly is interested in research questions at the intersection of physiology and neuroscience. At Stanford, he will identify mechanisms for physiological adaptations in organisms living in extreme environments and study the molecular and cellular logic of these evolutionary innovations. Outside of the lab, Ly enjoys mentoring young scientists and supporting students from underrepresented backgrounds.
