Sang Leigh

Assistant Professor

Department
Human Centered Design
Focus areas
Accessible interactive technologies, Human-computer interaction, Design innovation – bridging art, technology and UX

Sang’s research focuses on the creative, critical, and aesthetic use of technology in design making. He has spent the past decade bridging academia and industry, leading design innovation initiatives around human-centered applications of technology. Through the design of performative technological artifacts, he envisions alternative and more sustainable forms of human–technology relations—what he calls symbiosis.

His current work explores new horizons for AI systems that are interpretive, embodied, and symbiotic. He directs the Machine Poetics Lab, which investigates experimental designs that challenge the normative and uncritical pervasion of technologies—particularly AI—into everyday life. He uses making as a method to surface new questions about how emerging technologies shape human experience, values, and futures.

Precision nutrition, Gut microbiota and metabolic health, Oral microbiota and pathologies

Precision nutrition refers to the quest to determine dietary recommendations for each individual to help them live their best (healthiest) life. Over the years, nutritional scientists have observed that people react differently to the same food. For example, some people’s blood glucose will rise higher if they eat ice cream than if they eat bananas. Surprisingly, for other people, that may not be the case. Which category do you fit into? How do we determine that??? The reasons for this variability are believed to include genetics and gut microbiota. Understanding all of the factors that affect this variability will enable us to make personalized recommendations about what each person should eat to avoid developing conditions such as type 2 diabetes, hypertension, and obesity.

Our goal is to elucidate the interactions between host genetics, dietary intake, and gut microbes in order to benefit host health. Our current projects focus on (1) optimizing dietary fiber intake to prevent diabetes and hyperlipidemia and (2) identifying factors underlying pathogenic biofilm formation in the mouth. Our research is interdisciplinary; we combine knowledge from genetics, nutrition, physiology, microbiology, and computational biology. Our findings could help to develop a systems biology approach to precision nutrition to assist in treating metabolic disorders or decreasing disease risk.

Translational reprogramming, Nutrient stress response, mRNA epigenetics
  • Translational Reprogramming in Gene Expression
    We developed genome-wide approaches for profiling of initiating ribosomes, which enables quantitative mapping of translational initiation sites across the transcriptome. Using eukaryotic cells and mouse models, we are actively investigating alternative pathways controlling ribosome loading, scanning, and start codon selection.
  • Nutrient Stress Response
    Using nutrient starvation as the primary stress model, we are investigating functional adaptations of gene expression at the transcriptional and translational levels. We aim to uncover novel modes of cellular adaptation in response to nutrient  stress.
  • mRNA epigenetics
    By focusing on the role of mRNA modification in the form of m6A, we are currently investigating the broad effects of mRNA methylation in cellular physiology, such as cell growth, development, as well as cancer.
