Paul Cheng, MD, PhD
Assistant Professor
Cardiovascular Medicine
Stanford University
Primary Research:
Why did the chicken cross the road? Or better yet, why did the other chicken not cross the road? The Cheng lab is broadly interested in understanding why there is heterogeneity in the behaviors of seemingly identical vascular cells in health and disease. We leverage naturally occurring heterogeneity in genetics and epigenetics combined with high resolution transcriptomic, epigenetic, and spatial techniques across different model systems to discover novel regulators of vascular diseases.
