Min Yang, PhD In Progress

National Institute of Biological Sciences, China

Min Yang holds an M.Sc. from Beijing Normal University. She is currently a Ph.D. candidate at the National Institute of Biological Sciences, Beijing (NIBS), affiliated with Beijing Normal University, under the supervision of Dr. Bo Shen. Her thesis project focuses on the role of estrogen in skeletal homeostasis, with an emphasis of its function on bone marrow Leptin Receptor-expressing (LepR+) stromal cells. Using a combination of genetic and biochemistry approaches, she discovered new cellular and molecular mechanisms regarding how estrogen regulates bone formation, why women are more prone to osteoporosis upon menopause, and potential strategies treating menopausal osteoporosis.
