Yang Lab

Principal Investigator

Our research primarily centers around deciphering how various stimuli, including growth factors, cell stress, and targeted cancer therapeutics, influence the behavior and fate of individual cells. Our goal is to understand the normal mechanistic regulations of signaling pathways that govern proliferation. We are particularly interested in determining how these signals deviate in cancerous conditions, and with this knowledge, aspire to modify the fate of individual cells. We invite you to join us on this exciting journey of discovery.
