Biography
Professor Yang’s research interests are in environmental occupational medicine and epidemiology. Dr. Yang has already published ample studies on the application of metabolomics and machine learning techniques embracing the accurate diagnosis of pneumoconiosis, lung cancer, breast cancer, ventilator-associated pneumonia, pediatric asthma, and acute respiratory effects from environmental pollutants.
Professor Yang is board certified in occupational and environmental medicine, family medicine, palliative medicine, and geriatric medicine. These broad backgrounds are remarkably articulated in his epidemiological research investigating the chronic health effects and carcinogenesis of Chinese medicine containing aristolochic acid, Chinese medicine containing talc, and on nephrite processing workers. Dr. Yang's latest research interests include the heat hazard of global warming to vulnerable populations, such as pregnant women, the elderly, and children.
