So long, X! I'm consolidating my social media presence and planning to no longer actively post here. Please follow me on @LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/sunnyxtang/

Can we automate clinical assessment of thought disorder by finetuning an #LLM? Come find out at our #ACNP2026 poster this evening (Tue) #12!

Shhhhh! I know you're not supposed to choose favorites as a PI, but I might be attending #ACNP2026 with my favorite @STANGlab member 🥰🤪🤩.

This work was funded and completed by North Shore Therapeutics, a startup company I co-founded. Really proud of our team: @MoeinForoughi, @recoverWithCBT, @DocOTNY, @sarahberretta, @ukeleily, @johnmkaneny, Ed Yoon, and Bill Cronin... 5/5 northshore.health

We observed small shifts in defeatist beliefs and self-esteem in the intended directions. More impressively, at 1-week follow-up, the overwhelming majority of participants (90%) reported making progress in at least one of the real-life tasks they had identified... 4/5

#NewPaperAlert 😎! We developed a prototype for an Augmented Reality (#AR) smartphone app (NST-SPARK) that delivers recovery-oriented cognitive therapy targeting negative symptoms of schizophrenia and completed a preliminary study... 1/5 dx.doi.org/10.1111/eip.70…

@_kabro_ @NorthwellHealth So glad to have you on board @_kabro_ !

Proud to share that I’ve joined the Tang Lab, where I’ll be working on natural language processing approaches to predict social functioning in schizophrenia. Excited to work with this incredible team led by @STANGlab at @NorthwellHealth. Ready to go, new lab mug in hand ☕️

Congrats to our coauthors! @stellacong1, Aarush Mehta, @amirhnikzad, @sarahberretta, @ukeleily, @mark_liberman. Research conducted at @zhhresearch @NorthwellHealth and @Penn. 5/5

And also distinctive patterns for latency, whereas pause was similar between SSD and depression. 4/5

New paper alert! Check out our new manuscript in @SchizRes Cognition, led by @cho_sunghye. Here we used automated speech and language analysis to compare verbal fluency responses from people with psychosis, depression, and healthy controls. 1/5 lnkd.in/eg8Y-gGJ

Grateful to the press team at @NorthwellHealth for the lovely feature on my recent R01! Thanks for doing so much to raise the visibility of our science. @zhhresearch feinstein.northwell.edu/news/the-lates…

I'm saddened this morning by the death of Jane Goodall. Growing up as a little girl in the 90's, she was one of two women scientists (+Marie Curie) who had a real presence as role models. I feel very grateful that now, there are so many more. nytimes.com/2025/10/01/sci…

To the amazing program officers and staff at @NIMHgov and across the whole @NIH — thank you for your hard work! You guys are my heroes. NIH races to spend its 2025 grant money — but fewer projects win funding nature.com/articles/d4158…

Congrats to Aarush Mehta from our lab on his first first-author publication! He started working with us as a high school student and is now a senior at @stonybrooku. Thanks to coauthors: @amirhnikzad @stellacong1 @cho_sunghye Sameer Pradhan. @zhhresearch 4/4

A negative relationship between Happiness and Thought Disturbance and a positive relationship between Anger and Hostile Suspiciousness were replicated across samples... 3/4

Glad to share our new article out in @CogNPsychiatry! We assessed relationships between symptoms and sentiment in speech during picture descriptions from people with psychosis across 2 cohorts and 2 timepoints... 1/4 doi.org/10.1080/135468…
