Wesley Chiang, Ph.D. is a highly skilled and dedicated scientist with a strong background in biophysics, optics, materials science, and neuroimmunology. Throughout his academic career, Wesley has been actively involved in research projects focused on developing novel imaging techniques in combination with hybrid nano-bio assemblies to mimic biological assemblies to study immunologic drivers of neuroinflammation in Alzheimer's Disease, Parkinson's, and NeuroCOVID. His skillset spans across a diverse scope of techniques from high-content to super-resolution microscopy; synthesis, functional modification, and characterization of semiconductor nanocrystals (i.e. quantum dots); development of multi-cellular and mouse models for neurologic diseases; and molecular biological techniques such as RT-qPCR, RNA-seq, and quantitative proteomics. He obtained his Bachelor of Science degree in Biomedical Engineering and Materials Science from the University of California, Irvine in 2017. He then pursued a Master of Science degree in Optics from the University of Rochester, which he completed in 2019, followed by a Ph.D. in Biophysics at the University of Rochester.
