Biography

Hanqiang Deng is an Associate Research Scientist at Yale School of Medicine in the Department of Cardiovascular Medicine. He completed his PhD at Shanghai Jiao Tong University in 2016. His research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying endothelial function, particularly in the context of fluid shear stress and cardiovascular diseases. His work has revealed critical insights into how the MEKK3-CCM2 complex affects vascular integrity and has explored the consequences of MEKK3 deletion in both embryonic and adult stages. His current projects investigate the regulation of arterial remodeling under varying shear stress conditions, and he has developed computational methods to analyze endothelial cell behavior in relation to blood flow. Hanqiang has published extensively, contributing to the understanding of mechanotransduction in endothelial cells, and he is recognized for his research on atherosclerosis and pulmonary arterial hypertension.
