Biography

Dr. Yibin Wang's lab focuses on revealing the genetic basis of stress-induced human diseases, including heart failure and metabolic disorders. The lab is dedicated to discovering novel molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying stress responses. Insights gained from studying stress-signaling regulation aim to lead to mechanistic-driven diagnosis and differentiation of diseases, fostering new effective therapies tailored to individuals. Specifically, Wang's lab aims to discover novel components of stress signal transduction networks through a systems genetic approach, establish functional molecular mechanisms mediating stress signaling pathways, and translate mechanistic insights into novel therapies for disease models, particularly in heart failure and metabolic disorders.
