Kelley Yan, MD, PhD

Kelley Yan, MD, PhD, is a physician-scientist trained in diverse disciplines including clinical gastroenterology, structural biology, and stem cell biology. This multidisciplinary background provides her with a unique perspective and opportunity to study intestinal stem cell (ISC) biology at the molecular, cellular, and tissue levels. Her love of science began with an appreciation for undergraduate studies in chemistry and the physical sciences, which evolved during graduate school into a desire to understand how 3D structure or molecular form enables biological function and confers specificity in protein-protein or protein-nucleic acid interactions. She has experimentally examined these ...
