The Laboratory of Dr. Gang Huang

Welcome to The Huang Lab

At The Huang Lab, we are dedicated to advancing the understanding and treatment of human disease through rigorous, multidisciplinary research. Under the leadership of Dr. Gang Huang, our team seeks to bridge fundamental discoveries with real-world applications, with a particular emphasis on hematology, metabolism, cancer biology, medical product development, CAR T-cell therapy, trauma research, and military health. We focus on the complexities of both blood-related cancers and solid tumors while exploring how metabolic pathways and immune responses influence disease progression. We also extend our research to trauma, aiming to develop new strategies for patient recovery and improved quality of life. By integrating expertise across these domains, we strive to develop innovative interventions that improve patient care and outcomes worldwide.

Our mission 

• Unraveling Fundamental Mechanisms
  We aim to decipher the genetic, epigenetic, and metabolic factors driving cancer and related conditions. By uncovering how these elements interact within cells and tissues, we identify potential vulnerabilities that can be targeted therapeutically.
• Innovative Therapeutic Strategies
  From our pioneering work in CAR T-cell therapy for solid tumors to advanced interventions in trauma care, we strive to develop new, more effective, and less toxic treatments. Product development is integral to our mission, allowing us to rapidly translate our discoveries into tangible solutions that benefit patients.
• Collaborative Endeavors
  We firmly believe that teamwork accelerates discovery. Our lab collaborates with research institutions, clinical partners, and industry leaders to share knowledge, resources, and expertise—amplifying our collective impact.
• Education and Mentorship
  Preparing the next generation of scientists and clinicians is a cornerstone of our lab. We provide immersive research opportunities for students and postdoctoral fellows, fostering an environment that encourages innovation, critical thinking, and mentorship.

Our Focus

• Hematology & Metabolism: Identifying critical pathways and metabolic dependencies in blood disorders and hematologic malignancies, with the goal of developing more precise diagnostic tools and targeted therapeutics.
• Cancer Biology: Unraveling the interplay between cancer cells and their microenvironment to craft interventions that disrupt tumor growth, enhance immune surveillance, and mitigate treatment resistance.
• Medical Product Development: Transforming laboratory discoveries into real-world applications, including diagnostics, therapeutic formulations, and technologies that have the potential to revolutionize patient care.
• CAR T-cell Therapy: Pushing the boundaries of adoptive immunotherapy to treat both hematologic and solid tumors, while optimizing safety, efficacy, and scalability.
• Trauma Research & Military Health: Investigating novel methods to improve trauma management and outcomes, especially within the context of demanding military environments, to ensure that the best possible treatments are available where they are needed most.

At The Huang Lab, we foster a collaborative and inclusive environment that values innovation, critical thinking, and the relentless pursuit of scientific excellence. We welcome researchers, clinicians, students, and partners who share our commitment to advancing health through transformational research.

Whether you are a student beginning your research journey, a fellow scientist seeking collaboration, a patient in search of hope, or an organization looking to invest in cutting-edge healthcare solutions, we invite you to explore our work and join our efforts.
