Biography

Dr. Yu (Aaron) Tang obtained his bachelor degree from Sichuan University in China, and earned his Ph.D. degree from the Institute of Health Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences. As a Ph.D. student, his research interests and experiences widely across from delving into the epigenetic mechanisms in the immuno-pathogenesis of Parkinson's disease (PD) to the neural differentiation of pluripotent stem cells (ESCs/iPSCs). Specifically, he worked on (1) the epigenetic regulation/switch of distinct microglia phenotypes (M1 & M2), and its potential effects in the development of PD; and (2) the epigenetic mechanisms underlying the formation of neural progenitor cells (NPCs), and developed highly-efficient methods for NPC generation. Now as a postdoctoral researcher in the UT Southwestern, he focused on the differentiation of human ESCs/iPSCs towards neurons to probe possible molecular mechanisms that were employed for better modeling the features of neurodegenerative diseases including aging status.
