Dr. Yang's research interest is to understand the disease pathogenesis and heterogeneity that exists among SSc patients, especially those with ILD. Her work leverages novel experimental and computational genomic technologies to elucidate molecular phenotypes within the disease. One area of focus is the role of telomere dysfunction and aberrant aging in promoting skin and lung fibrosis.
