Alex Tang completed his PhD in Neuroscience at the University of Western Australia (UWA) and has since engaged in post-doctoral research at the Okinawa Institute of Science and Technology under Assistant Professor Marylka Uusisaari. He returned to UWA in 2018, where he currently holds a dual position as a Senior Lecturer and a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Pharmacology and Toxicology. In 2023, he received the inaugural Sarich Family Fellowship, which allowed him to establish the Healthy Brain Ageing Repair Lab at the Perron Institute. His lab focuses on understanding changes in neural plasticity with age and the cellular mechanisms underlying neurological disorders. The aim is to develop novel interventions to promote healthy brain ageing and treat age-related neurological conditions, thereby enhancing the quality of life. Alex is actively engaged in several research projects and collaborations, focusing on innovative imaging tools and functional analyses related to neurotrauma and other medical research domains.
