Celebrating 5 Years of Service: Yi-Shan Yang

Yi-Shan Yang, PhD, began working at Stanford in 2000 as one of the T32 "Advanced Techniques for Cancer Imaging" postdoctoral trainees under the mentorship of Mark Bednarski, MD, PhD, after receiving her PhD in chemistry from Stanford. Dr. Yang's PhD research focused on applying high-field optical spectroscopy to study the oxygenation mechanism of metal containing proteins. In 2002, she joined the Lucas Center scientists as a research associate. At the Lucas Center, Dr. Yang's research centers on MR-guided genomic and proteomic analysis for target and biomarker identification; imaging characterization of vasculature development upon tumor progression; genomics and bioinformatics; anti-angiogenic therapy; and contrast agent development. Despite her busy schedule, she loves to spend time with her husband, who is a lawyer specializing in intellectual property, and her two sweet daughters, who are six and three and a half years old. She also likes to swim, do yoga, play the piano, and read.
