About the K. Lisa Yang Brain Body Fellowships

The K. Lisa Yang Brain Body Postdoctoral Fellowship supports outstanding postdoctoral fellows conducting groundbreaking research in brain-body physiology and neurodevelopment. This program is open to postdoctoral fellows whose work advances understanding of the functional interplay between the central nervous system and peripheral organ systems, including gastrointestinal, immunological, respiratory, cardiovascular, and musculoskeletal.

The K. Lisa Yang Innovative Practices Fellowship provides two-years of support to exceptional trainees working on high-risk/high-reward collaborative projects across labs of the Harvard Yang Tan Collective to advance the field of brain-body science.

Fellows are awarded a stipend for two years to support their research and join a global community of Fellows from the Yang Tan Collective centers across Harvard and MIT.
