Dr. Chieh Chang received Ph.D. in Biology from California Institute of
Technology, where he was the recipient of the Helen G. and Arthur McCallum
Fellowship and the Howard Hughes Medical Fellowship, Caltech and studied
under Dr. Paul Sternberg (Thomas Hunt Morgan Professor of Biology, Caltech).
His graduate study at Caltech set out to develop tools to silence gene
expression and to understand signaling mechanisms in animal development.
Dr. Chang was an American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellow and performed
his postdoctoral work at Stanford University under Dr. Marc Tessier-Lavigne
(President and Carson Family Professor, Rockefeller University) and
at the University of California, San Francisco & Rockefeller University
under Dr. Cornelia I. Bargmann (Torsten N. Wiesel Professor, Rockefeller
University). His Postdoctoral study is exceptional, making a big splash
in the field well populated by developmental neurobiologists interested in
mechanisms of negative regulation in axon growth and guidance.
From 2006 to 2014, he held faculty positions at McGill University,
and at Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Research Foundation. Since Dr. Chang
established his own lab, he has generated exciting new leads to the timing
mechanisms underlying transition of sequential events in initial neuronal
connectivity and age-related decline in neuronal regeneration. This is a
particularly exciting direction since intense scrutiny has been focused on
dissecting molecular functions in neurons with sufficient spatial resolution
but not enough temporal information to fully understand involved mechanisms.
These findings have been recently reported in Science and Science Signaling,
where he is the senior corresponding author. He joined the University of
Illinois at Chicago as associate professor in August 2014.
Dr. Chang is the recipient of the Canada Foundation for Innovation,
Leaders Opportunity Award, the Whitehall Foundation Research Award,
and the March of Dimes Foundation Research Program Award. His lab is
currently supported by a NIH RO1 grant recently funded for five years,
a NSF grant recently funded for four years, and a Whitehall Foundation grant.
