Dr. Yang is a physician-scientist whose research focuses on cardiovascular regeneration and restoration. His laboratory combines stem cell biology with novel imaging technology to advance clinical implementation of induced pluripotent stem cells and their derivatives. Induced pluripotent stem cells and their secretes will trigger a paradigm shift. His research provides a requisite validation with emphasis on clinical translation. Dr.
Our investigative focus is the design, conduct, analysis, and interpretation of human molecular epidemiology studies of complex cardiovascular disease (CVD) related traits including coronary atherosclerosis and risk factors for coronary atherosclerosis.
Specificity and efficacy in intracellular signal transduction can be conferred by the anchoring and co-localization of key enzymes and their upstream activators and substrate effectors by scaffold proteins.
"The fundamental theme of work in the Knowles lab is the application of genetics to improve human health. We view this as a continuum from Discovery to the development of Model Systems to Clinical Translation to larger Public Health efforts.
