Dr. Jing Yang is a Professor in the Department of Pharmacology and Pediatrics at the University of California, San Diego. Her research primarily focuses on understanding the molecular basis of tumor metastasis. She employs a variety of cell and molecular biology tools, mouse tumor models, and functional genomics, along with 2D and 3D imaging techniques, to uncover the genes and signaling pathways that are responsible for tumor metastasis. Dr. Yang has specifically identified cellular programs, such as Epithelial-Mesenchymal Transition (EMT) and invadopodia-mediated extracellular matrix degradation, as critical mechanisms for tumor invasion and metastasis. She continues to dissect the signaling pathways regulating these programs and tests the importance of these pathways in tumor metastasis using both mouse tumor models and human tumor samples.
