She grew up in the island and graduated from National Taiwan University in 1962. Ying-Ying came to the U.S. for graduate studies and received her Ph. D. in Biological Chemistry from Harvard University in 1967. She married Dr. Shau-Jin Chang, a Harvard physicist in 1964.
　　
　　After two years post-doctoral work at Princeton University, Ying-Ying and her husband started a teaching and research career spanning for more than three decades at the University of Illinois, Champaign-Urbana, in 1969 with Ying-Ying in the Department of Microbiology and Shau-Jin in Department of Physics. In 2002, they moved to San Jose, California after retiring from the University and live there ever since.
