LAB MEMBERS

Current Huang lab team members and their research (and other) interests.
Picture
Principal Investigator - Timothy Y. Huang, Ph.D.
(Assistant Professor de Cuisine)
Tim obtained his Ph.D. in Biochemistry/Molecular Biology at the University of Calgary (Canada), where he studied mechanisms of underlying cell polarity in fission yeast. He then investigated phosphoregulatory mechanisms that mediate changes in the actin cytoskeleton in mammalian cells at Scripps (La Jolla), followed by molecular mechanisms underlying neurodegeneration and Alzheimer's disease using mouse and human cell-based models at SBP with Dr. Huaxi Xu.

(Don't let the Star Wars lanyard fool you. Tim lost interest in Star Wars in 1999; he's just recycling an unwanted lanyard)

Staff Scientist - Juan Pina-Crespo, Ph.D.
Praise makes everything better

Staff Scientist - Bing Zhu, Ph.D.
Bing characterized a novel role for the ER protein, membralin as a component of the ERAD complex, and is an essential part of the hMGL team which established an analysis pipeline to characterize mutations associated with AD risk in an ES-based human microglial model. Bing is currently working on elucidating new mechanisms of pathogenesis for TREM2 in AD.

Postdoctoral Researcher - Xiaoguang Li, Ph.D.
​Xiaoguang has expertise in animal surgery and behavior, and has played an integral role in many projects in the lab. His research is currently focused on elucidating novel roles for SNX27 and SORLA in mediating neuroprotective effects in AD.
Picture
SBP Graduate Student - Stephanie Myers (with the Ronai Lab)
Stephanie is currently exploring a role for the E3 ubiquitin ligase Siah1a in the pathogenesis of Alzheimer's disease.

Mira Chokshi, lab assistant
Mira Chokshi is a student at the University of California, San Diego, pursuing a B.S. in Pharmacological Chemistry. While working at the Huang Lab, she hopes to expand her knowledge as well as gain vital experience in scientific research for her future career path.  Along with her studies, Mira is also the performance director for her South Asian Fusion A Capella team, Sitaare.

Research Assistant de Commis extraordinaire.

​FRIENDS OF THE HUANG LAB

Picture
Staff Scientist - Lu-lin Jiang, Ph.D.
Lu-lin is investigating mechanisms underlying proteostasis in neurodegeneration, including ERAD (ER-associated degradation) and UPR (unfolded protein response) pathways. Her specific interest is in membralin, a component of the ERAD machinery.

Yunqian Peng, Ph.D.
From the Kaufman lab, and a member of the ATF6 research team.
A friendly face always ever-present in the HUANG lab.
Picture
Wei Jiang, Ph.D.
Another friendly face from downstairs, ever-present in the HUANG lab. Wei received her Ph.D. degree in Toxicology from the University of Nebraska Medical Center in 2012. She continued to work in Dr. Lockridge's lab as a postdoctoral researcher. Wei joined Dr. Kaufman’s lab at SBP in Oct 2018 as postdoc, investigating ER stress and neurodegenerative diseases.

Barbara Ranscht, Ph.D. (Professor Emeritus)
A friendly face, and welcome guest to the HUANG lab.
Barbara is investigating potential neuroprotective effects of the adipokine, Adiponectin in the Central Nervous System.

Lab Alumni

Dr. Xiao-Peng Xiong, Staff Scientist
