Hua Tang

Hua Tang is a Professor of Genetics and Professor (by courtesy) of Statistics at Stanford University School of Medicine. She leads the Tang Lab in the Department of Genetics, focusing on statistical genetics, computational biology, and population genomics. Her research explores evolutionary forces shaping human genetic variation and the genetic architecture of complex traits.

• AB in Biology, Harvard and Radcliffe College (1997)
• PhD in Statistics (minor in Genetics), Stanford University (2002)

Her work emphasizes:

• Ancestry block inference in admixed genomes
• Population-specific genetic risk modeling
• Proteomic and genomic trait associations
• Multi-ethnic GWAS harmonization

Recent publications highlight:

• Genetic ancestry and disease risk in diverse populations
• Proteomic insights into sickle cell trait complications
• Multi-population risk prediction frameworks
