About
Ran Yan is a Ph.D. student in the Bioengineering program at UCLA, where her research focuses on breast MRI and the development of quantitative imaging methods for breast cancer. Her primary research area centers on analyzing background parenchymal enhancement (BPE) in breast MRI. She is investigating how the quantitative characteristics of BPE vary across individuals with different lifetime risks of breast cancer and evaluating its potential utility in predicting responses to neoadjuvant chemotherapy. Her broader interests include advancing medical imaging techniques to improve diagnosis and treatment monitoring in breast cancer.
She is an alumni of the Sung lab.
