Brief Bio

Dr. Wei Yan is Professor of Medicine at David Geffen School of Medicine at UCLA, and Principal Investigator at The Lundquist Institute for Biomedical Innovation at Harbor-UCLA Medical Center.  His research is focused on genetic and epigenetic control of fertility, and epigenetic contribution of gametes (sperm and eggs) to fertilization, early embryonic development and adulthood health. He has published >150 peer-reviewed papers with >11,000 citations (as of October 2022). Dr. Yan received many prestigious awards, including the 2009 Society for the Study of Reproduction (SSR) Young Investigator Award, the 2012 American Society of Andrology (ASA) Young Andrologist Award, the 2013 Nevada Healthcare Hero Award for Research and Technology, the 2017 University of Nevada, Reno Outstanding Researcher Award, the 2018 SSR Research Award and the 2020 Nevada System of Higher Education Regents’ Research Award. In May 2016, Dr. Yan was named the University of Nevada Reno Foundation Professor, the highest honor the University bestows upon its faculty. In 2017, he was elected Fellow of the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS).  Dr. Yan is currently co-Editor-in-Chief of Biology of Reproduction, a premier journal in the field of Reproductive Biology.  He likes hiking, skiing, swimming, and photography.
