Vivian Chang

Dr. Vivian Chang is a faculty member at the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), specializing in pediatric hematology-oncology. She earned a Master's in Bioinformatics at UCLA with coursework in genomic technology and computational biology, and established one of UCLA's first multidisciplinary genomics clinics to address genetic cancer susceptibility. Her research focuses on bone marrow microenvironment dynamics, rare genetic syndromes with leukemia risk, and genomic instability disorders.

• Masters in Bioinformatics, UCLA

Research Interests: Cancer predisposition in pediatric populations, genomic characterization of congenital leukemias, and translational studies linking telomere biology to malignancy. She co-authored key position articles on surveillance for DNA repair defects and Neurofibromatosis.

Publication Trends: Recent work spans cancer surveillance protocols, hematopoietic stem cell dynamics, telomere biology, and genomic applications in pediatric oncology. Her lab investigates epigenetic aging in Bloom syndrome and the role of the bone marrow microenvironment in leukemia susceptibility.
