Dr. Chiang received his Bachelor's degree in Biomedical Engineering with a minor in Mathematics from Johns Hopkins University. After college, he was awarded a Fulbright Grant to conduct research in Hannover, Germany. He then entered the Medical Scientist Training Program at the University of Wisconsin - Madison where he obtained his MD and PhD (in Biomedical Engineering) degree, with a certificate in Clinical Investigations. He did his internship at Gundersen Hospital Systems in Lacrosse, WI, and returned to Los Angeles to complete his diagnostic and interventional radiology residency training. After residency, he accepted an interventional radiology faculty position at UCLA.

His clinical focus is on the diagnostic imaging and treatment of solid tumors with minimally-invasive techniques. He divides his time between vascular/interventional procedures and cross-sectional interventional procedures, with a focus on interventional oncology, vascular disease and liver interventions. He also runs an active NIH-funded translational research laboratory focused on bringing the latest cutting edge technology to his clinical patient population.
