Bio
Dr. Chiang is a Systems Immunologist who studies immunology, bioinformatics, biotechnology, computer science, and systems biology. As a key personnel on several university- and government-funded grants, he laid the groundwork for the proposed research by developing effective algorithms and tools of biological modeling to model and simulate different biological systems. He successfully collaborated with many world-class researchers. He has published many papers in reputable journals and filed several patents.
