Cheen Euong Ang, PhD
About Me
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.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
Dr. Ang has not yet completed reporting of industry relationships or has no industry relationships to report.
Mount Sinai’s faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
