Fei Fang

Dr. Fei Fang is an Assistant Professor at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai, holding dual appointments in the Department of Orthopedics and the Department of Cell, Developmental & Regenerative Biology.

• BA in Mechanical Engineering, Huaqiao University
• MS in Mechatronic Engineering, Zhejiang University
• MS and PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Washington University in St. Louis

Her research focuses on musculoskeletal mechanobiology and cell niche interactions, particularly tendon biology and regenerative medicine. Key areas include:

• Tendon mechanobiology and developmental biology
• Tissue engineering for musculoskeletal regeneration
• Stem cell applications in tendon repair
• Biomechanical analysis of tendon structures
• Enthesis healing and Hedgehog signaling pathways
• Single-cell analysis of immune-mesenchymal interactions

Dr. Fang's recent publications emphasize multiscale mechanical evaluation of tendons, Hedgehog signaling mechanisms, and translational approaches for tendon-to-bone healing. Her work combines biomechanical engineering with regenerative medicine to address musculoskeletal disorders.

She leads the Fang Laboratory for Musculoskeletal Mechanobiology and Cell Niche at Mount Sinai, located in the Annenberg Building (20th Floor, Room 20-72A), advancing novel therapies for tendon, ligament and meniscus regeneration through mechanobiological insights.
