Co-leader, Data Curation and Management Core, FHS-BAP
Dr. Ang is Research Assistant Professor of Anatomy and Neurobiology. He works with the Framingham Heart Study (FHS) and the Black Women’s Health Study (BWHS), where his research focuses on clinical data management and epidemiology of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). His clinical experience in tertiary hospitals and overseas humanitarian missions as a physician has inspired him to pivot towards public health research, to improve current clinical guidelines and practice of neurocognitive disorders. His research primarily involves data management and analyses, where he enjoys taking an agnostic approach to tackling different scientific questions, implementing different study designs, and adopting both conventional statistical and machine-learning analytic techniques. Beyond his personal research interests, he is an avid believer in team science and plays a crucial role in spearheading data-sharing efforts and advocating for open data movement.
