Sindy Tang

Prof. Sindy K.Y. Tang is the Kenneth and Barbara Oshman Faculty Scholar and Associate Professor of Mechanical Engineering, with courtesy appointments in Bioengineering and Radiology (Precision Health and Integrated Diagnostics) at Stanford University. Her research group aims to develop engineering platforms that measure biological systems and convert these measurements into quantitative datasets, enabling both mechanistic insight and data-driven discovery. Current work focuses on experimental systems that probe biological processes across cellular and tissue scales, particularly how physical context—geometry, mechanics, and spatial organization—shapes biological function. By creating new measurement infrastructure for biology, her work aims to advance understanding of immune responses, spatial tissue organization, and cellular self-repair.
