About Me
Dr. Alice Huang is an Assistant Professor in the Leni and Peter W. May Department of Orthopaedics at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York City. Dr. Huang graduated from Barnard College and the School of Engineering and Applied Science at Columbia University with a B.A. in Asian/Middle Eastern Studies and a B.S. in Biomedical Engineering. She then completed her PhD in Bioengineering at the University of Pennsylvania. Dr. Huang's graduate research was devoted to the mechanobiology of mesenchymal stem cell differentiation for cartilage tissue engineering. Following the completion of her graduate studies, Dr. Huang conducted postdoctoral research in Developmental Biology at Shriners Hospital for Children, where she investigated mechanisms of musculoskeletal development and integration during embryogenesis. In 2014, Dr. Huang joined the faculty at Mount Sinai as an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedics, with a secondary appointment in Developmental and Regenerative Biology.

Research
Dr. Huang’s research focuses on the molecular and mechanical regulation of stem cell induction and differentiation during fibrous connective tissue healing and regeneration, with particular focus on tendon/ligament and the annulus fibrosis of the spine. The work of her laboratory combines genetic mouse models and the tools of developmental biology with in vitro tissue engineering approaches. To date, a complete understanding of the cell biology and molecular mechanisms underlying the injury and healing response has been limited, due to a paucity of available markers and tools for these tissues. Dr Huang’s work addresses this area of research, applying genetic mutants that have been implicated in various aspects of fibrous tissue differentiation and development in the context of injury. In the long term, these studies will open new avenues for regenerative therapies.
