H. Josh Jang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at Van Andel Institute , where he leads the Jang Laboratory focused on improving cancer immunotherapies through epigenetic and metabolic research. He joined the Institute in 2025 after serving as a VAI Fellow (2020-2025) under Nobel laureates Peter A. Jones and Stephen B. Baylin. Education : B.S. in Health Promotion and Disease Prevention (University of Southern California), Ph.D. in Molecular Genetics and Genomics (Washington University in St. Louis) Key Collaborations : Van Andel Institute–Stand Up To Cancer® Epigenetics Dream Team His research explores the epigenetic-metabolic crosstalk in cancer progression, targeting reversible vulnerabilities to enhance immune checkpoint inhibitors. Current projects include transposable element activation , RNA splicing dysregulation , and tumor microenvironment characterization using single-cell and spatial sequencing technologies. Recent publications demonstrate expertise in multi-omics analysis , clinical trial design , and epigenetic therapy optimization across diverse cancers. His work has generated 15 clinical trials through the VAI-SU2C Dream Team collaboration. Scientific Awards : K99/R00 Pathway to Independence grant (NCI) SPORE Epigenetic Therapies Career Enhancement Award (NCI) Forbeck Scholar (2021)
