Qing Yang

Qing Yang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Neurobiology at the University of Texas Medical Branch (UTMB), focusing on molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying chemotherapy- and neurotrama-induced neuropathy. Their research aims to identify therapeutic targets for treating complications from spinal cord injury (SCI) and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN), particularly examining ion channels like KCNQ and TRPV1.
