Yuyan Ding is a Researcher at the Department of Internal Medicine, affiliated with the Yale School of Medicine at Yale University. Their work focuses on metabolic and neuroendocrine mechanisms, particularly brain glucose transport in obesity. Ding collaborates with prominent researchers including Janice Jin Hwang, Douglas Rothman, and Graeme Mason.
Research Interests: Investigating how obesity impacts brain energy metabolism, with implications for neurodegenerative and metabolic disorders. Key areas include glucose transport dynamics, neuroendocrine signaling, and clinical applications of metabolic imaging techniques.
Key Publication: A 2024 study in Obesity revealed deficits in brain glucose transport among younger adults with obesity, highlighting early metabolic disruptions. This work integrates clinical data with advanced imaging methodologies.
Labs/Teams: Active member of the Hwang Lab, part of Yale’s translational research ecosystem focused on metabolic and endocrine disorders.
