We leverage basic, translational, and clinical scientific talent across the Harvard Community to unite researchers whose combined expertise, passion, and vision are perfectly poised to drive interdisciplinary breakthroughs in neurobiology.
The Yang Tan Collective at Harvard and MIT, created to accelerate progress in neurobiology research in human health and disease, was made possible by the vision and generosity of K. Lisa Yang, and Hock E. Tan ’75.
Hock E. Tan and K. Lisa Yang Center for Autism Research
K. Lisa Yang Brain Body Center
Yang’s strategic vision and unwavering commitment to advancing research and awareness in neurodevelopmental disorders led to the creation of two pioneering research centers at Harvard. Yang is a former investment banker with degrees from Columbia and Cornell, dedicated to creating a lasting impact through science and innovation.
