Yiyao Catherine Chen is a biomedical engineering researcher at the forefront of mechanomedicine and thrombosis research. Her work integrates cutting-edge mechanobiology with translational design, from deciphering vaccine-associated thrombotic mechanisms to engineering next-generation anti-thrombotic mechanomedicine platforms. By bridging single-molecule biophysics, cellular mechanics, and therapeutic innovation, her research aims to transform how we diagnose, predict, and treat cardiovascular and immune-driven thrombotic disorders.
