## Education

Tang graduated from Tunghai University with a B.S. in biology in 1978 and earned an M.S. in microbiology and immunology from National Yang-Ming University in 1983.[1] He then pursued graduate studies in the United States, earning an M.A. and his Ph.D. in human genetics in 1988 from Yale University.[2] His doctoral dissertation, completed under geneticist Edward J. Benz Jr. and pathologist Vincent Marchesi, was titled, "Molecular cloning and tissue-specific regulation of erythroid and nonerythroid membrane skeletal protein 4.1".[3]

## Academic career

After receiving his doctorate, Tang was a postdoctoral fellow of internal medicine at the Yale School of Medicine from 1988 to 1989.[4] At the end of his postdoctoral fellowship, he became a researcher at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences of Academia Sinica, where he later served as an associate research fellow, research fellow, and distinguished research fellow.[5]

In 2022, Tang was elected a member of Academia Sinica. He remains a Distinguished Research Fellow at the Institute of Biomedical Sciences.[2][6]

He also is a member of the Program in Molecular Medicine, a collaboration between National Yang Ming Chiao Tung University and Academia Sinica.[7]

He co-holds patents with Academia Sinica research colleagues.[8]
