Yufeng Huang

Yufeng Huang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Nephrology & Hypertension at the University of Utah School of Medicine. Her research focuses on renal fibrosis, diabetic nephropathy, and the renin-angiotensin-aldosterone system's pathophysiological roles.

• Medical Degree: Jiangsu University, China
• PhD: Shanghai Medical College, Fudan University
• Postdoctoral Fellowship: University of Utah School of Medicine

Her work explores antifibrotic therapies targeting TGFβ, PAI-1, and receptor-mediated prorenin/renin actions. She also investigates non-viral gene delivery strategies for cell-specific targeting in diseased kidneys. Recent publications highlight her contributions to:

• Gene therapy approaches in diabetic complications
• RNA-binding protein modulation in fibrosis
• Pharmacological interventions for multi-organ fibrosis
• Imaging biomarkers for kidney disease
• Renin receptor antagonism in nephritis
