Wenjun Fan

Dr. Wenjun Fan is an Assistant Professor of Teaching at the Program in Public Health, University of California, Irvine. She holds a Ph.D. in Public Health and a Master’s degree in Biomedical and Translational Sciences from UC Irvine, along with a medical degree from Tianjin Medical University. Her expertise spans cardiovascular epidemiology and preventive medicine, focusing on risk factor analysis and health behavior promotion.

• Ph.D., University of California, Irvine (Public Health)
• M.S., University of California, Irvine (Biomedical and Translational Sciences)
• M.D., Tianjin Medical University (Clinical Medicine)

Dr. Fan’s research explores atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease risk factors in chronic condition patients, lipid management optimization, and AI-driven risk stratification models. She has pioneered studies on diabetes-cardiovascular intersections, hypertension subtypes, and lipoprotein(a) dynamics using machine learning algorithms and multi-ethnic cohort data.

Her scholarly output demonstrates consistent focus on preventive cardiology innovations: 17 publications in 2024-2025 alone examine semaglutide’s population impact, AI-enhanced imaging biomarkers, and diabetes-specific risk models. These works frequently incorporate machine learning methodologies and large cohort analyses, emphasizing cardiovascular outcomes in diabetes patients.

• Outstanding Teaching Award (UC Irvine doctoral program)

Dr. Fan collaborates extensively on the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis (MESA) and leverages the All of Us Research Program for precision medicine applications. Her work bridges clinical epidemiology with technological advancements in risk prediction, serving as critical advisor in several high-impact studies.
