Dr. Wang received a Bachelor degree in Basic Medicine from Beijing Medical University (now Health Science Center of Peking University) and a PhD degree in pathophysiology from the Academy of Military Medical Sciences. After postdoc training in the Second Military Medical University and the University of Iowa (1996-2003), he started his career track in the University of Iowa, Shandong Academy of Medical Sciences, Soochow University, Xiamen University and Xi’an Jiaotong-Liverpool University sequentially. His research is to understand the mechanisms underlying the pathogenesis or treatment of diseases from the viewpoints of basic medical scientists. He published over 50 SCI-indexed papers in international journals plus over 50 papers in non-SCI-indexed journals covering immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, pharmacology (disciplines in sense of basic medicine), or hematology, oncology, ophthalmology, dermatology, autoimmune diseases (disciplines in clinical medicine). He also published two books as editors and issued nine inventory patents. He is member of several academic societies and on journal editorial boards. He pursues after novelty in science and enjoys research, especially on innovative theories. In the last ten years, one of his teams interests has been the functions of the gene MXRA7 and disclosed the clues to the significance of this gene in biomedical processes. His team has won several awards from Chinese agents or international academic societies.

As a basic medical scientist, I have strong faith in the ethic of INTEREST-DRIVEN research, so I did not restrict my research in any specific fields. My past studies covered immunology, microbiology, molecular biology, cellular biology, pharmacology, etc (disciplines in basic medical sciences), or hematology, oncology, ophthalmology, dermatology, autoimmune diseases, etc (disciplines in clinical medicine). Currently, my team is working on the following projects.

Immunology: infection immunology, like viral infection mechanisms (key words include FlgE, SARS-CoV-2, NLRP3, etc).

Molecular and Cellular Biology: characterization of biology and functions of novel genes (eg MXRA7), or novel functions of old genes (eg. ectopic ATP synthase)

Ophthalmology: physiology of eye science, pathogenesis and experimental therapy of ocular diseases, etc. Ongoing projects covers dry eye, CGT of plasminogen-deficiency-caused ligneous conjunctivitis, engineered corneas, etc.

Cancer biology: mainly in the cancer-platelet interactions.
