Scientific Focus
Research Interests
Dr. Yang's research interest focuses on the comprehensive diagnosis of ischemic heart disease using cardiac MRI. Specifically, he is using novel MR imaging sequences that enable rapid and integrated imaging of the coronary arteries as well as assessment of LV function, cardiac perfusion, and myocardial viability. By combining the chemical sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance with high spatial and temporal resolution, a wide range of biological events spanning from molecular to physiologic processes can be characterized. Dr. Yang's laboratory is implementing such innovative approach to in vivo imaging of stem cell biology and of the effects of cell therapy on the injured myocardium. Dr. Yang's research is supported by a prestigious K23 and R01 awards from the National Institutes of Health.
