We are a group of over 200 Yale faculty members dedicated to promote the active contributions of our members to the mission and core values of Yale University.
AFAY is honored to invite National Academy of Sciences members and emeritus HHMI investigators, Professor Lily Jan and Professor Yuh-Nung Jan from UCSF to give three talks at Yale on their research and on “Scientific Excellence, Mentorship, and Equity”. (1/3)
In 2022, Professor Yuh-Nung Jan published a paper in Cell titled "Underrepresentation of Asian awardees of United States biomedical research prizes", which brought this important issue to people's attention. https://t.co/Tqb4Qe2ked (2/3)

How does aging reshape a tissue that must continually rebuild itself hundreds of times?
Using spatial transcriptomics, we find that ovarian aging disrupts the coordination of cells across space and time before reproductive cycles stop.

Congratulations to @JunLiuLab@YaleMicroPath researcher @guowangbiao for receiving the poster award at the 11th Annual @Yale Biophysics and Structural Biology Symposium!
One of the many perks of working at @YaleMed is the numerous food trucks. Jean Wei, who runs our favorite Taiwanese food truck, retired last week. Thank you for feeding us for the past 17 years!
Jane Ying Wu, who took her own life, was cleared of wrongdoing by the US National Institutes of Health. Her family alleges that her employer destroyed her career. https://t.co/epe9i1VBkZ
Last week, AASF and AI NextGen hosted the inaugural AIX Summit in NYC with 700+ leaders from academia, industry, and finance to examine how AI will drive American scientific discovery and economic growth.
