Chuchun Liz Chang, PhD, is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Pediatrics at Columbia University, with a research focus on understanding the role of bioactive lipid mediators in modulating innate immune cell biology and systemic inflammation. She completed her MS degree in Human Nutrition and her PhD in Nutritional Metabolic Biology from Columbia University. After completing her doctorate, Dr. Chang was appointed as a post-doctoral fellow at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), conducting research within the Department of Medicine at Columbia University Irving Medical Center. Her research investigates how dietary omega-3 fatty acids influence immune effector cell biology, particularly their protective roles in cardiovascular disease and inflammation-related conditions. Dr. Chang’s laboratory is currently engaged in projects assessing the molecular mechanisms of acute omega-3 fatty acid treatment and its effects on systemic inflammation and cellular lipid metabolism. Her work aims to inform the design of therapeutic agents for conditions related to acute infections and tissue remodeling.
