Wancai Yang

Wancai Yang's research centers on the molecular biology of gastrointestinal cancers, particularly colorectal and pancreatic cancer, examining how genes and signaling pathways (such as Wnt signaling, Muc2, Apc, and AKR1B8) contribute to intestinal inflammation and tumor development. Recent work also touches on cancer treatment approaches like antibody-drug conjugates and radiotherapy, as well as some unrelated environmental engineering topics. The lab uses mouse models and molecular techniques to study how chronic inflammation and genetic mutations interact in the progression from normal tissue to cancer.

Publication output has fluctuated over the past decade, with a dip around 2021-2022 followed by a resurgence in 2023 and continued activity into 2025, suggesting a generally steady but variable pace.
