Biography

Dr. Yang received a Ph.D. in physiology from the Lombardi Cancer Center, Georgetown University in 1999 and a M.P.H. in epidemiology from Johns Hopkins University School of Public Health in 2003. She joined the Genetic Epidemiology Branch (GEB) in 2000 as a fellow, and became a tenure track investigator in 2006. Her research interests include the genetics of familial cutaneous malignant melanoma/dysplastic nevi syndrome and molecular heterogeneity of breast cancer.

Research Interests

  • Identifying susceptibility genes for familial cancers including cutaneous malignant melanoma/dysplastic nevi syndrome, chordoma, and nasopharyngeal carcinoma using genetic linkage and association analyses.
  • Assessing etiologic heterogeneity of breast cancer using tissue microarray analysis of molecular markers involved in hormone-mediated pathways.
