Ying Yan

Ying is a recent UCLA graduate who majored in Molecular, Cellular, and Developmental Biology, and a research assistant in the McDonald Lab. Within the lab, Ying has helped with research on the NESTING and SSRI studies, both which she expressed have taught her so much and fascinated her greatly. She is passionate about working with children and has always been intrigued with studies on child development and child psychology. Therefore, unsurprisingly, she is currently interested in pursuing a career in pediatric medicine. Outside of the lab and academics, Ying personally enjoys cross country running and listening to film scores, her latest favorite being the "How to Train Your Dragon" soundtrack by John Powell.
