About
Steven Tang is an assistant professor of molecular biophysics and biochemistry in Yale’s Faculty of Arts and Sciences. His research focuses on understanding the biological mechanisms that prevent sperm cells from interacting with eggs, which hampers fertilization. He is the corresponding author of a study that describes a key mechanism involving a naturally occurring antibody, OBF13, that recognizes the sperm protein IZUMO1 and disrupts fertilization. His work provides high-resolution structural insights into the anti-sperm antibody-antigen complex, opening avenues for discovering regulators of IZUMO1, guiding the design of antibodies and small-molecule inhibitors, and supporting drug screening for contraceptive development.
