Stephen Tang

President, CEO & Director University City Science Center

University City Science Center is the nation’s oldest and largest urban research park. Dr. Tang is the first president in the Science Center’s history to have not only led a company through venture funding and an initial public offering, but to also serve as a senior executive with a large life sciences company as it acquired and integrated smaller start-ups. In 2013, the Science Center established a Digital Health Accelerator (DHA) to help promising startup companies developing online, mobile and software solutions to healthcare problems. Since the program’s inception, a total of seven companies have been selected to participate in the DHA, from a pool of 69 applicants via a multi-stage process.
