Dr. Dean Tang is currently Professor in Department of Carcinogenesis of the University of Texas M.D Anderson Cancer Center, USA. Dr. Tang did his Ph.D work on cancer metastasis and in 1998, he was awarded a Burroughs-Wellcome Hitchings-Elion Fellowship and joined Dr. Martin Raff’s lab in Medical Research Council (MRC; U.K) as a post-doctoral fellow to study stem cell development. Since 2000, Dr. Tang’s lab (http:// sciencepark.mdanderson.org/labs/tang) has mainly engaged in two research projects - one is related to understanding the prosurvival mechanisms epithelial cancer cells utilize to bypass apoptosis induction and the other is on (prostate) cancer stem cells (CSCs).
