A/Prof Yap laboratory is working on the field of regenerative cardiology and metabolic disorders, where the team is interested in the basic and translational cardiometabolic research. The laboratory is focusing on regenerative cardiology using stem cell therapy and cardiometabolic disorders. We work with pluripotent stem cells and cardiovascular progenitor-mediated repair of myocardial infarction in small (rodents) and large (pigs) animal models.
