Biography

Stephen C. Pang is an Emeritus Professor in the School of Medicine at Queen's University. His research primarily focuses on the structure and function of the cardiovascular system in health and disease, with a current emphasis on designing gene therapies for the treatment of myocardial infarction (heart attack). His laboratory is exploring the cardioprotective properties of atrial natriuretic peptide (ANP) and developing new gene constructs aimed at protecting the heart immediately following a myocardial infarction. Collaborating with experts across multiple disciplines, including cardiology, neurology, and mechanical engineering, Dr. Pang is also studying the links between abnormal expression of atrial natriuretic peptide and the risks of heart attacks and strokes. Furthermore, his team works on engineered articular cartilage for joint repair and has established methods for quantifying LINE-1 DNA methylation in colorectal cancer research. Dr. Pang has received research funding from notable institutions such as the Heart and Stroke Foundation and the Canadian Institutes of Health Research.
