Ferroptosis in Health and Disease

Daolin TangDr Tang’s work chiefly focuses on designing and conducting molecular, cellular, and animal studies to investigate the mechanisms of damage-associated molecular pattern molecule (DAMP) release and activity in autophagy and cell death, and to evaluate novel drug candidates for the treatment of various inflammatory diseases, including cancer. His past contributions to biomedical science include the initial description of the role of high-mobility group box 1 (HMGB1), a classical DAMP, in autophagy. His recent contributions to DAMP biology include the identification of a novel function and activity of HMGB1 in infection and sterile inflammation. More recently, he has also identified a number of regulators of necroptosis, ferroptosis, pyroptosis, and alkaliptosis. In summary, Dr Tang is an outstanding investigator with a proven track record of innovation and achievement in the fields of DAMP, autophagy, and cell death.
