Khai Ang

Khai Ang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Division of Experimental Pathology. His research focuses on interdisciplinary studies spanning genetics, imaging technology, and human migration patterns. Key areas include skin color genetics in diverse populations, micro-CT imaging techniques for biological samples, and prehistoric human migration dynamics influenced by environmental changes.

Recent work includes developing web-based histology atlases for freshwater organisms like Daphnia magna, optimizing micro-CT imaging protocols for 3D tissue visualization, and investigating genetic ancestry impacts on skin pigmentation in Caribbean populations. His 2023 paper on Sundaland migration patterns highlights how sea-level changes drove ancient human movements between Southeast Asia and South Asia.

Ang collaborates extensively on projects combining molecular biology with cutting-edge imaging technologies. While no specific academic awards are highlighted in the provided materials, his work has gained notable attention across multiple news platforms and social media channels.
