Chuan-Hsiang Bear Huang, M.D., Ph.D.

Bear received an M.D. from National Taiwan University followed by two years of residency in internal medicine before arriving at Johns Hopkins University, where he obtained a Ph.D. in Immunology/Biophysics. In his thesis work, Bear determined the crystal structure of PI3Kα, one of the most frequently mutated proteins in human cancers. He went on to study the mechanism of cell migration as a Damon Runyon Fellow in the lab of Peter Devreotes. In 2016 Bear started his own lab in the Department of Pathology at Johns Hopkins where his team investigates signaling networks in tumorigenesis and how to target them for cancer treatment. In his free time Bear enjoys playing piano, fishkeeping, and astrophotography.
