Dr. Tie-Shan Tang is currently a principal investigator of Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS). Dr. Tang has spent much of his career studying the calcium signaling in health and diseases. A major finding of his work is that dysregulation of intracellular calcium signaling in neuronal cells contributes to the pathogenesis of Huntington’s disease (HD, a polyQ neurodegenerative disease). Based on these key findings, a mechanistic link between disturbed calcium signaling and HD was established, and corresponding therapeutic approaches were pursued both in vitro and in vivo, and were shown to be effective in an in vitro “HD model system” and in vivo whole animal model. One of the therapeutics he has been developing involves a gene therapy method to stabilize neuronal calcium signaling and protect HD neurons from cell death. His main research interest is to investigate the functional regulation of calcium signaling pathway and DNA damage/repair pathway in neurodegenerative diseases, such as polyQ neurological diseases, using experimental approaches including biochemistry, molecular/cellular biology, genetics and mouse models. This will allow him to gain further insight into the molecular mechanism of polyQ diseases, and to develop novel therapeutic strategies.
