Dr. Tang is an associate professor of vascular surgery at the University of Washington. Her clinical interests include endovascular and open surgical therapies for thoracic and abdominal aortic disease, carotid disease and lower extremity arterial disease. Dr. Tang’s area of research is in the cellular and molecular mechanisms of collateral artery development and non-operative therapies for…


Rong Tian

Dr. Tian is the Director of the Mitochondria and Metabolism Center, located at the University of Washington’s South Lake Union campus. She is also Co-director of the NMR Center, and Professor in the departments of Anesthesiology and Pain Medicine and Bioenineering. Research in the Tian Laboratory focuses on the role of cell metabolism and mitochondrial…


Wang Wang

Dr. Wang is an Associate Professor of Anesthesiology and an Adjunct Associate Professor of Pathology at the University of Washington in Seattle, USA. His research focuses on the role of mitochondria in metabolic and heart diseases. His work has led to the discovery and characterization of single mitochondrial flashes, which are transient and reversible accelerations…


Xiaoming Yang

Dr. Yang is a UW professor and director of image-guided bio-molecular interventions research in the Department of Radiology at the University of Washington School of Medicine. He is also an attending physician of interventional radiology at UW Medical Center, and holds an appointment as a senior lecturer of radiology at Kuopio University in Finland and…


Vasily Yarnykh

Dr. Vasily Yarnykh started his research career in magnetic resonance physics during his undergraduate (M.S., 1988) and doctorate (Ph.D., 1993) studies at the Lomonosov Moscow Sate University (Moscow, Russia) where he worked on the development of new techniques for two-dimensional NMR spectroscopy. He then became involved in magnetic resonance imaging research at the Center for…


Ying Zheng

Dr. Zheng’s research group is interested in understanding the fundamental structure and functions in living tissue and organ systems at nano-, micro-, and centi- meter scale. Our recent research focus is on designing and engineering the functional units of major human organs by integrating the knowledge of biology and medicine, transport phenomena, matrix mechanics, and…


Chun Yuan

Chun Yuan, Ph.D., is a Professor in the Departments of Radiology, Electrical Engineering, and Bioengineering; the Co-Director of the Vascular Imaging Lab since 1997 and Director of the Bio-Molecular Imaging Center at the University of Washington since 2006.

Jennifer Davis

Jen Davis

Dr. Davis, a cellular and molecular physiologist, uses genetic engineering to study the biology of cardiac wound healing and remodeling. Specifically, she investigates the role of scar tissue in repair processes and how it affects heart muscle function and prevents regeneration. Dr. Davis identified a key set of molecular signals that activate scar-forming myofibroblast cells…
