Diana Yang

Diana Yang is a PhD student in Immunology at the University of Toronto, studying under the supervision of Dr. Rupert Kaul. She earned her BSc in Biological Sciences from Simon Fraser University, where she first developed her interests in infectious diseases and human pathogens. As part of her doctoral studies, Diana is interested in exploring how pre-existing human immune parameters may offer protection against subsequent viral respiratory infections. Diana hopes her research will contribute to the ongoing work on emerging zoonotic pathogens of concern. Outside of her studies, Diana is passionate about community building and foraging. When she is not in the lab, you can find her serving up yummy treats at the local HIV specialty hospital, Casey House.
