Yu Yan, Ph.D.

Research Administrative Specialist

I came to New York after earning my Ph.D. from Peking Union Medical College. I have been working at Weill Cornell Medicine ever then. Over the past decade, I have gained experience in different research areas, including medicinal chemistry and mouse studies. In March 2026 I had the great honor of joining Dr. Gudas’s lab. In my current role, I support administrative and operational functions, including laboratory procurement, grant submissions, and ensuring compliance with institutional and safety regulations. Outside of work, I enjoy photography, traveling, cooking in the kitchen, and exploring walking or biking trails with my family.
