Jean Y. Tang MD PhD

Description

My research has focused on rare, monogenetic skin diseases such as Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB) and Gorlin Syndrome (Basal Cell Nevus Syndrome). With my PhD training in basic science, post-doctoral fellowship in clinical research, and residency in dermatology, I am committed to improving the lives of EB patients, to correct their underlying genetic disease and to offer new treatments for their skin and esophageal wounds. I was the PI of the investigator-initiated, Phase 1/2A clinical trial of autologous gene-therapy skin grafts for RDEB (Pz-cel, EB-101, previously called LEAES).
