Dr. Yesol Yang is a nurse scientist with training in breast cancer (BC) control and survivorship. Her current research focuses on how individual differences in sensitivity to uncertainty relate to cognitive function in BC survivors, using multimodal psychological techniques including functional magnetic resonance imaging and startle eyeblink potentiation. Her overall research goal is to understand the mechanisms underlying cancer-related cognitive impairment in BC survivors and then to develop interventional strategies.

Dr. Yang earned her BSN at Korea University and completed her post-master’s Adult Gerontology Nurse Practitioner program at the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, where she obtained her master’s in nursing education. She completed her PhD at the Duke University School of Nursing and a two-year T32 postdoctoral fellowship at The Ohio State University Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Hyeryeong Lee, a first-year PhD student from South Korea, previously worked in a pediatric intensive care unit (PICU), caring for critically ill children.

The children and nurses in the PICU inspired her. “One particularly memorable moment was when a child who had been hospitalized in the PICU for a long time stopped by the PICU to say hello to us in good health after being discharged. The moment truly supported the impact of our work and brought me joy,” Lee said.
