Dr. Yalin Sun is currently a postdoctoral fellow at the University of Toronto, working under the supervision of Drs. Susan R. George and Jean-Martin Beaulieu. Her PhD work at the University of Toronto with Dr. Susan R. George explored sex-specific mechanisms of depression mediated by the dopamine D1-D2 receptor heteromer, as well as age-dependent cannabinoid-induced neuroinflammation in the amygdala. After defending her PhD in 2025, her current work explores mechanisms underlying therapeutic amelioration of cannabinoid-induced astrocytic and microglial inflammation. She employs rodent behavioural models, tissue biochemistry, primary rodent and human stem cell culture, proteomic and transcriptomic techniques.

Dr. Marlaina Stocco is currently a postdoctoral associate at the University of Western Ontario, working under the supervision of Dr. Jibran Khokhar. She completed her PhD in Dr. Rachel Tyndale’s lab at the University of Toronto (2021), exploring the impact of central drug metabolism on behavioural and neurological effects of neurotoxins and drugs of abuse. During an initial postdoc with Dr. Tod Kippin at UCSB (2021-2025), Marlaina investigated biological and environmental factors that contribute to differences in preference and motivation for psychostimulant self-administration. Her current work aims to elucidate the modulatory role and therapeutic target potential of the endocannabinoid system in methamphetamine use disorder and methamphetamine psychosis.
