Rui Chang received a B.S. in Biological Sciences with a focus on Biotechnology from Tsinghua University, China in 2005. He then earned a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from the University of Southern California in 2011, followed by postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School under Stephen Liberles. His research focuses on sensory transduction, particularly investigating the vagus nerve's role in relaying sensory information and regulating whole-body physiology. Since joining Yale University School of Medicine in January 2018 as an Associate Professor, Dr. Chang's lab employs various advanced molecular and genetic techniques to explore the physiological functions of organ-to-brain circuits. His work aims to elucidate the critical body-brain interface and to develop novel therapeutic strategies for disease intervention. His research interests include neuro-cardiac interactions, the gut-brain axis, and conditions such as Parkinson's disease.
