Yana is tireless in pushing the leading edge of his field. To accomplish this, one of his visions was to establish a center of excellence for the study of reproductive and developmental biology. In 2000, he founded and became the first Director of the Institute for Biogenesis Research (IBR), which is housed in the Department of Anatomy, Biochemistry and Physiology. The IBR faculty, which began only with Yana, has grown to include graduate faculty members, ranging from junior to senior level and whose research programs are supported by grants from the National Institutes of Health and pri...
