Dr. Yang is Simons Chair of Medicine and Professor of the Department of Medicine at Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University . An internationally renowned physician scientist in the field of gastroenterology, Dr. Yang received his Ph.D. degree from Princeton University and M.D. degree from Rutgers-Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, followed by Internal Medicine residency and Gastroenterology fellowship training at the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He was a faculty member in the Department of Medicine at Johns Hopkins between 1989 and 2001 and became R. Bruce Logue Professor of Medicine and Director of the Division of Digestive Diseases in 2001 at Emory University School of Medicine. In 2011, Dr. Yang was recruited to Stony Brook University and brought with him a blend of clinical expertise, research acumen, teaching skills and leadership experience to his current position.
Dr. Yang's research is concentrated on the roles played by a number of Krüppel-like transcription factors (KLFs) that exert crucial roles in the biology and pathobiology of the gut epithelium including stem cells and cancer. He is principal investigator for several NIH-funded grants, as well as author or co-author of over 200 original scientific articles or chapters. He is a member of several honor societies including Alpha Omega Alpha Honor Medical Society, American Society for Clinical Investigation and Association of American Physicians, and was recipient of the Distinguished Alumnus Award from his alma mater, Robert Wood Johnson Medical School.

Agnieszka B. Bialkowska, PhD
Assistant Professor Department of Medicine Renaissance School of Medicine at Stony Brook University Stony Brook, New York Email: Agnieszka.Bialkowska@stonybrookmedicine.edu Phone: 631-638-2161 |
Dr. Bialkowska is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine, Division of Gastroenterology and Hepatology, GI Translational Lab at Renaissance School of Medicine. Dr. Bialkowska received her PhD degree from Institute of Biochemistry and Biophysics Polish Academy of Sciences. During her postdoctoral training at LSUHSC she participated in the development of an improved lentiviral gene trap vector and subsequently utilized this system for discovery of protein function by investigating the subcellular distribution of trapped proteins, their activities under defined physiological conditions. In 2005 Dr. Bialkowska joined laboratory of Dr., Vincent Yang at Emory University and transitioned her research to studying homeostasis and pathogenesis of the gastrointestinal epithelium. In 2011 she moved with Dr. Vincent Yang to Stony Brook University and in 2013 was appointed Assistant Professor.
Dr. Bialkowska research is focused on the transcription factor Krüppel-Like Factor 5 (KLF5) and its role in intestinal biology, with a particular focus on its involvement during injury, inflammation and intestinal carcinogenesis. She is also interest in the function of KLFs in pancreas during homoeostasis, inflammation and tumorigenesis.
