Paul J. Wang, MD
John R. and Ai Giak L. Singleton Director, Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine) and, by courtesy, of Bioengineering
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Wang's research centers on the development of innovative approaches to the treatment of arrhythmias, including more effective catheter ablation techniques, more reliable implantable devices, and less invasive treatments. Dr. Wang's clinical research interests include atrial fibrillation, ventricular tachycardia, syncope, and hypertrophic cardiomyopathy. Dr. Wang is committed to addressing disparities in care and is actively involved in increasing diversity in clinical trials.

Yunyun Wang
Postdoctoral Scholar, Cardiovascular Medicine
BioYunyun is a postdoctoral scholar in Cardiovascular Medicine at Stanford. She received her PhD in Genetics from Zhejiang University in China (2025), where she studied the metabolic-epigenetic mechanisms of cardiovascular disease such as atherosclerosis and angiogenesis. In 2026, she joined the Quertermous Lab, where her research focuses on uncovering the mechanisms underlying atherosclerosis using Perturb-seq technology.

Chad S. Weldy, M.D., Ph.D.
Assistant Professor of Medicine (Cardiovascular Medicine)
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe Weldy Lab studies how human genetic variation drives vascular dysfunction, inflammation, and cardiovascular disease. We integrate human genetics, epigenetics, single-cell genomics, RNA biology, and experimental models to define causal mechanisms and identify new therapeutic opportunities.
Led by Chad S. Weldy, MD, PhD, the lab focuses on questions at the intersection of cardiovascular genetics, vascular biology, and RNA-mediated regulation, with particular interest in smooth muscle cell phenotypic modulation, innate immune signaling, and mechanisms of disease susceptibility governed by epigenetic memory.
Our work is grounded in the idea that genetic discovery can do more than identify risk. It can reveal the biology that matters most and point toward more precise strategies for prevention and treatment.
