Yuyan Wang, PhD

Assistant Professor, Department of Population Health

Keywords
Biostatistics, Environmental health science
Summary

My research focuses on developing and applying advanced statistical methods to study how environmental exposures and other risk factors affect health outcomes across the lifespan, from childhood through adulthood.

One area of focus is the World Trade Center Environmental Health Center, where I serve as Principal Investigator of a project examining how body mass index and health disparities shape lung function over time among WTC survivors.

I also collaborate closely with investigators across NYU Grossman School of Medicine and the national Environmental influences on Child Health Outcomes (ECHO) Cohort Consortium, contributing statistical expertise to studies of environmental exposures, childhood health development, and respiratory health.

As I begin my role as an Assistant Professor in the Division of Biostatistics, I look forward to expanding my mentorship of trainees and collaborators, offering statistical consultation and methodological guidance to multidisciplinary research teams.
