Biography

Peng Huang is an Associate Professor in the Department of Biochemistry & Molecular Biology at the Cumming School of Medicine, University of Calgary. His research focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms that regulate cell differentiation and tissue maintenance, particularly in the context of organogenesis. His lab employs zebrafish models combined with molecular genetic analyses and high-resolution imaging to investigate pattern formation during spinal cord development and the regulation of muscle maintenance. Huang's work has contributed to our understanding of the roles of specific signaling pathways, such as Notch and Hedgehog, in neural progenitor differentiation, as well as the origins and functions of tissue-resident fibroblasts. His studies highlight the complex interactions between different cell types within the muscle environment and their implications for development and disease. With a strong publication record, Huang is dedicated to advancing knowledge in developmental genetics and cellular dynamics.
