Dale Tang

Dr. Dale Tang is Professor of Molecular and Cellular Physiology at Albany Medical College and Director of the Cytoskeletal Signaling and Asthma Research Program. He serves as Editor-in-Chief of Respiratory Research (Impact Factor 7.2, 2021), overseeing global lung health publications.

His research targets fundamental mechanisms of respiratory diseases with emphasis on:

• Asthma pathogenesis including airway hyperresponsiveness and remodeling
• Molecular regulation of smooth muscle contractility via protein kinases
• Cytoskeletal dynamics in pulmonary arterial hypertension
• Inflammatory pathways in chronic lung disease

Dr. Tang secures continuous NIH funding for translational asthma research, focusing on developing novel therapeutics through mechanistic understanding of disease pathways. His editorial leadership shapes respiratory research dissemination while his laboratory program bridges basic science and clinical applications for 300 million asthma patients worldwide.

The Cytoskeletal Signaling and Asthma Research Program provides specialized infrastructure for molecular pathway analysis in airway diseases, fostering collaborations across pulmonary medicine and translational science disciplines.
