معرفی
Lay Teng Ang is an Assistant Professor of Urology at Stanford University, with concurrent appointments at the Bio-X, Cardiovascular Institute, and Institute for Stem Cell Biology & Regenerative Medicine. His research focuses on stem cell differentiation mechanisms and their applications in vascular biology, hematopoiesis, and neuroinflammation.
- Doctoral training at University of Cambridge and A*STAR
- Professional background includes Genome Institute of Singapore and Stanford Institute for Stem Cell Biology
Research interests span pluripotent stem cell lineage specification, endothelial cell heterogeneity, and therapeutic targeting of EPAS1/ACKR1 pathways. His work has produced protocols for generating highly pure hematopoietic progenitors and organ-specific endothelial cells.
Key publications include:
- 2025: Venous dysfunction in vascular dementia (Nature Communications)
- 2024: Hematopoietic stem cell lineage tracing (Developmental Cell)
- 2023: Germ cell specification mechanisms (Nature Communications)
- 2022: Meningococcal disease susceptibility via CFHR3 variation (AJHG)
Awards include Catalyst to Independence and Siebel Investigatorship grants, with affiliations spanning the American Heart Association and Stanford Maternal & Child Health Research Institute.
