Biology is entering an era where discovery depends on the ability to measure complex systems at scale. The Tang Lab develops engineering platforms that measure biological systems and convert these measurements into quantitative datasets, enabling both mechanistic insight and data-driven discovery. Our work focuses on building experimental systems that probe biological processes across cellular and tissue scales. In particular, we design platforms that reveal how physical context—geometry, mechanics, and spatial organization—shapes biological function. By creating new measurement infrastructure for biology, we aim to enable deeper understanding of immune responses, spatial tissue organization, and cellular self-repair.

Our research focuses on developing experimental platforms for:

• Functional immune measurements and allergy diagnostics
• Spatial tissue sampling for multi-omics analysis
• Single-cell physical perturbation, repair, and synthetic cell systems
