Dr. Tan's research centers on respiratory and cardiovascular physiology, with a strong emphasis on clinical applications in asthma, COPD, and advanced respiratory therapy. His work explores clinical team dynamics, particularly debriefing after critical events, and investigates systemic needs in respiratory care delivery, especially in California. His interdisciplinary approach bridges medicine, allied health, and health systems research.
His recent publications (2023–2025) reflect a dual focus: one stream on pulmonary and critical care medicine, including asthma-COPD overlap and respiratory workforce assessment; the other on translational oncology involving CAR T-cell and targeted pancreatic cancer therapies. This suggests collaborative engagement across departments and disciplines, particularly with translational medicine and oncology teams.
