Oct 1st, 2023: Tang Lab welcomes a new postdoctoral fellow, Huiyun Lyu. Huiyun completed her Ph.D. under the guidance of Dr. Yan Shi at Tsinghua University in Beijing, China, where she investigated intracellular signaling impact on chromatin state and phenotype stability of induced mouse Tregs.  In the Tang lab, she will apply her expertise in Treg biology to investigate molecular control of human Treg homeostasis and function.

Aug 31, 2023: The Tang Lab bade farewell to Thibault Leray.  Thibault completed his year-long research internship for his Master's degree program at the Ecole Normale Supérieure Paris Saclay.  He will continue his research training as a Ph.D. student at the Oslo University Hospital with Dr. Else Marit Inderberg. 

Aug 21, 2023: Tang Lab welcomes a new postdoctoral fellow, Roberto Castro-Gutierrez.  Roberto completed his Ph.D. training with Dr. Holger Russ at the University of Colorado.  In the Tang Lab, he will be applying his wealth of knowledge and technical skills in type 1 diabetes research to advance Treg cell therapy for the disease.
