Event Description

In this seminar, Liya Yin, MD, PhD, FCVS, FAHA, will present her research to prevent stress-induced myocardial ischemia by developing coronary collateral flow by stimulating coronary collateral growth and preserving coronary arteriolar vasodilation under stress. 

Presenter Details

Yin is a tenured associate professor and the director of the heart and blood vessel diseases research focus area at Northeast Ohio Medical University. She got her MD/PhD degrees from Wuhan University. She did her postdoctoral training at West Virginia University and the University of California in San Francisco. She was a research faculty member at UCLA before joining NEOMED as a research assistant professor in 2009.

Yin's research focuses on the induction of coronary collateral growth in ischemic heart diseases, the regulation of coronary circulation in cardiovascular diseases and stem cell and cardiovascular regeneration. Her lab published papers in Circulation Research, AJP-heart and circ, Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology, and Basic Research in Cardiology. Yin's research has been funded by the NIH and the American Heart Association. She is a Fellow of AHA and a Fellow of the Cardiovascular Section of the American Physiological Society. She is on the editorial board of Circulation Research, AJP-heart and circ, JMCC, Basic Research in Cardiology, and the International Journal of Cardiology.
