Cheen Euong Ang, PhD

Cheen Euong Ang is an Assistant Professor of Psychiatry and Neuroscience. He is the group leader for the Laboratory of Stem Cell Programming and Imaging Omics (www.anglab.org)

Cheen Euong Ang received his B.Sc. in Chemistry from McGill University. He then completed his Ph.D. in Bioengineering from Stanford University under the supervision of Dr. Marius Wernig. During his graduate training, he developed multiple direct neuronal reprogramming protocols, used sequencing tools to understand the mechanism of reprogramming and applied the induced neurons to answer disease-related questions. He finished his postdoctoral training in the lab of Xiaowei Zhuang. During his postdoctoral training, he applied the spatial omics technology to understand how RNA transcripts distribute within cells and intact tissues. More recently, he also developed a spatial epigenomics method to interrogate hundreds of developmentally important enhancers in intact mouse embryonic and adult brain tissue samples.
