Yesol Yang is a nurse PhD scientist with training in breast cancer (BC) control and survivorship. Her overall research goal is to understand the mechanisms underlying cancer-related cognitive impairment (CRCI) in BC survivors and then to develop interventional strategies. Specifically, she is interested in examining the association of brain activation during uncertainty with subsequent cognitive function in BC survivors. Currently, she is a leading a functional magnetic resonance imaging pilot study to determine the feasibility of conducting a longitudinal study to investigate brain-social risk phenotypes of CRCI among breast cancer survivors.

Dr. Yang graduated BSN at Korea University and started her career as a nurse in a Medical Intensive Care Unit at a Samsung Cancer Center in South Korea. Upon relocation to the U.S., she was trained as a nurse educator at the MD Anderson Cancer Center. She 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.
