Molecule and cellular mechanisms underlying chemotherapy and neurotrama-induced neuropathy with a major goal to identify potential therapeutic targets that can be used to effectively treat chemotherapy- and neurotrama-induced complications. At present, Dr. Yang seeks to deconstruct the role of ion channels in spinal cord injury (SCI)-induced secondary degeneration and chemotherapy-induced peripheral neuropathy (CIPN) to gain new insight on the treatment.
