Ya-Wen Chen, PhD

Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai

Dr. Ya-Wen Chen is the Isidore Friesner Associate Professor of Otolaryngology, Stem Cell Biology and Regenerative Medicine, and Pathology at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, where she also serves as Scientific Director of the Institute for Airway Sciences. She co-directs the Center for Epithelial and Airway Biology and Regeneration and leads the Developmental Origins of Health and Disease Biorepository.

Dr. Chen’s research lies at the intersection of stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, and translational immunology, with a focus on the development and repair of the human respiratory system. Her laboratory has developed a unique platform for generating lung and airway epithelial cells from human pluripotent stem cells at a scale sufficient for adult trachea and lung coverage. This platform has enabled new approaches to airway reconstruction, including the use of bioengineered tracheas seeded with patient-specific cells.
