  • Academic Appointments Assistant Professor - Med Center Line,  Medicine - Nephrology
    Member,  Bio-X
    Clinical Focus
    • Nephrology
    • Kidney and Pancreas Transplantation
    • Desensitization and ABO incompatible kidney transplantation
    Research Interest

    My research interests are in immune monitoring in kidney transplant patients and in the management of sensitized patients. I am interested in translational studies to determine the immunological mechanisms underlying kidney transplant rejection and alloantibody production and to identify novel biomarkers to monitor the immune system in kidney transplant patients. I am also interested in designing novel protocols for desensitization and ABO incompatible kidney transplantation.

  • Academic Appointments Associate Professor,  Orthopaedic Surgery
    Member,  Bio-X
    Associate Professor (By courtesy),  Materials Science and Engineering - Engineering Materials Science
    Research Interest

    Yang’s research interests are based on bio-inspired biomaterials and approaches for re-creating a suitable microenvironment for cell growth and tissue regeneration, including enabling technology for bone regeneration, nanotechnology for dental and orthopedic implant devices, and naturally-based biomaterials for cancer treatment.

  • Academic Appointments Associate Professor,  Neurology & Neurological Sciences
    Member,  Bio-X
    Member,  Child Health Research Institute
    Research Interest

    Elucidate biological functions of cytoskeletal associated proteins in neurons. Define the cellular and molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration in null mice.

  • Academic Appointments Associate Professor - Med Center Line,  Medicine - Cardiovascular Medicine
    Member,  Bio-X
    Clinical Focus
    • Cardiology (Heart)
    • Cardiovascular Disease
    Research Interest

    Dr. Yang's research focuses on comprehensive evaluation of myocardial injury and restoration using novel molecular and cellular MRI techniques. By combining the chemical sensitivity of nuclear magnetic resonance with high spatial and temporal resolution, integrated imaging of a wide range of regenerative processes in the cardiovascular system is possible. This innovative approach enables in vivo imaging of stem cell biology and their effects on the myocardium. The novel MRI techniques are emplo..
