Mingyu Yang's research centers on spatial omics technologies—methods that map gene expression, epigenetic marks, and proteins onto their precise locations within tissue samples. This work has been applied to studying cancers (glioblastoma, pancreatic cancer, lymphoma), immune cell function, and CAR T-cell therapy outcomes in leukemia. The publication record also includes a separate line of work on drug discovery for gout and hyperuricemia, targeting urate transport proteins.
