Laboratory Introduction

Dr. WANG received the Ph.D. in the University of Hong Kong. He focuses on the study of large-scale Omics data, especially in the field of autoimmune diseases. He has participated in many international and nation-wide collaborations and these works identified more than 130 genetic loci associated with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) during postdoctoral training. Together with functional genomic data from public domains, his works revealed cell type-specific regulation for the disease-associated genes. These findings significantly improved the understanding of disease pathogenesis. So far, he has published 33 papers at peer-reviewed journals, including Nature Genetics, Nature Communications, Annals of the Rheumatic Diseases and Arthritis & Rheumatology et al. Dr. Wang joined the School of Medicine at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (Shenzhen) as assistant professor in 2022. Dr. Wang’s future works would focus on how to translate real-world big data into clinical applications, with the aims of facilitating drug discovery and improving accuracy of genetic screening for both mendelian and complex diseases.
