Yuehan Wang, Ph.D., M.Sc.

Yuehan Wang, Ph.D., M.Sc., joined DCEG as a postdoctoral fellow in the Radiation Epidemiology Branch (REB) in May 2024. Dr. Wang earned her M.Sc. in biomedical sciences specializing in epidemiology from the Radboud University, Nijmegen, and completed her doctoral training at the Princess Máxima Center for Pediatric Oncology, Utrecht, both in the Netherlands. Her doctoral research focused on pooling international data to determine and quantify the risks and risk factors associated with subsequent breast cancer in female and male childhood cancer survivors.

In REB, she is working with data from childhood cancer survivors to characterize the joint effects of radiation dose, chemotherapy, and other risk factors on subsequent thyroid cancer, as well as to explore the association between chest radiation field and dose, and subsequent breast cancer. Her mentors are Lindsay Morton, Ph.D., and Sara Schonfeld, Ph.D., staff scientist.
