Senior🎓
Top SchoolChao-gan Yan is a professor and neuroimaging methodologist with 13+ years of experience pioneering resting-state fMRI computational tools and big-data studies of depression. He directs the International Big-Data Center for Depression Research and leads the R-fMRI Lab at the Institute of Psychology, CAS, after research positions at NYU and the Nathan Kline Institute. His widely used toolboxes DPABI and DPARSF and several ESI top-cited papers have shaped standards for motion correction, standardization, and multiple comparison correction in functional connectomics. He initiated the REST-meta-MDD consortium and combines large-scale human neuroimaging with longitudinal animal models to probe depression mechanisms. With over 50 peer-reviewed papers, >10,000 citations and editorial roles at NeuroImage and Journal of Neuroscience Methods, he bridges open science, rigorous methods, and translational psychiatry. An automation-trained undergraduate who transitioned to cognitive neuroscience, he is notable for translating engineering-style tool development into reproducible brain-imaging science.
