About
Dr. Yana Wang is a leading researcher in neurorehabilitation and biomedical engineering, whose work bridges the critical gap between robotic therapy and human embodiment. Her most impactful contribution is a landmark randomized controlled study demonstrating that combining mirror visual feedback with robot-assisted training significantly facilitates motor recovery after stroke—a finding that has garnered 34 citations and reshaped how clinicians approach post-stroke rehabilitation. Dr. Wang’s research addresses a fundamental limitation in current robotic systems: the lack of embodiment. By integrating visual feedback that enhances the patient’s sense of ownership over the robotic limb, she has pioneered a more effective, holistic approach to recovery. Beyond neurorehabilitation, Dr. Wang has advanced high-throughput flow cytometry for antibody development, enabling faster, more accurate screening in drug discovery. Her ongoing work, including a 2022 study protocol, continues to explore the dual effects of robot-assisted therapy on both upper limb and cognitive function in stroke patients. With a growing portfolio of highly cited publications, Dr. Wang is at the forefront of creating smarter, more human-centered rehabilitation technologies that promise to transform patient outcomes.
