Guang Yang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medical Genetics at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary. His research centers on the molecular and cellular mechanisms essential for the development of the mammalian brain. He focuses on neural stem cells and neurogenesis, investigating how genetic and environmental factors influence brain development and function, as well as the underlying causes of neurodevelopmental disorders such as autism spectrum disorders and schizophrenia. His work combines single-gene approaches with genome-wide analyses to dissect the complex regulatory networks governing neuronal production and organization. Through his research, he aims to identify and understand translational control mechanisms in neural stem cells that are disrupted in various neurodevelopmental conditions.
