Shenzhen Bay Laboratory
Dr. Xiaoyu Tang is an Assistant Professor in the newly established Shenzhen Bay Laboratory. Dr. Tang completed his doctoral training at the Eberhard Karls University of Tübingen (Germany). He did his post-doctoral training at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and J. Craig Venter Institute working with Dr. Bradley S. Moore. Before joining SZBL, he was a Scientist at the leading synthetic biology company Ginkgo Bioworks in Boston. He is a recipient of the 2014 PHOENIX Pharmaceutics Science Award (Germany). Over the years, he has developed numerous genome mining techniques that are now standard in the biosynthetic community. His laboratory@SZBL employs a multidisciplinary approach to discover small molecules from the marine bacteria and the human microbiota, decipher their biosynthetic enzymes, and interrogate their biological roles. They are using a combination of genetics, genomics, chemistry, biochemistry, and bioinformatics to answer basic biological questions and to develop new therapeutics. Dr. Tang has been an editor for the ASM journal Microbiology Spectrum and a young editorial board member for the journal Chinese Journal of Natural Medicines (Elsevier ).
