Dr. Tang had completed his studies from University of Toronto , Medical Microbiology, FRCPC, University of British Columbia , Microbiology, PhD, University of British Columbia , MD, and University of British Columbia, Microbiology , BSc.
Research Interest
Metagenomics of Infectious Disease. My reseach focuses on characterizing new and emerging infectious diseases using metagenomics approaches to identify novel pathogens and host gene expression profiles. This involves the identification of viruses and bacteria using a combination of PCR for conserved genetic regions, pathogen microarrays and mass sequencing.
