Yuhan Wang

Yuhan Wang serves as an Assistant Professor of Molecular Nutrition in the Division of Nutritional Sciences within Cornell University's College of Human Ecology. Her research investigates brain-body interactions governing metabolic regulation with direct implications for obesity and diabetes pathophysiology.

Education

• Ph.D. from Oregon Health & Science University focused on gene and cell therapies for diabetes
• Postdoctoral training at Janelia Research Campus (Howard Hughes Medical Institute) developing spatial/molecular techniques for neuronal mapping

Her laboratory employs molecular and functional approaches in animal models to elucidate neural circuits involved in metabolic regulation, with particular emphasis on how these systems become dysregulated in disease states. Current work develops innovative methods to study bidirectional relationships between brain function and nutrient metabolism.

The Y. Wang Lab maintains active research operations from 223 Savage Hall at Cornell University, pursuing cutting-edge investigations at the neuroscience-nutrition interface.
