PING WANG, MD
Head of the Center for Translational
Research
Dr. Wang grew up in an industrial city where
there was much emphasis on machinery.
Being born and raised in this environment, it
was natural for him to have a deep interest in
figuring out how and why machines worked
the way they did. When medicine was
introduced to him later in life, he applied his
interest in machinery and grew a curiosity
to discover how the human body works
and what causes disease. Today, Dr. Wang
believes that parts of the human body work
together to form a beautiful machine that is
far more complicated than anything humans
have created or even imagined. He works
toward the goal of conducting eff ective
and successful laboratory discoveries and
translating them into clinical practice for
improving patient outcome.
THE CENTER FOR
TRANSLATIONAL RESEARCH
The Center for Translational
Research promotes the
identification of therapeutic
targets, the development
of treatment strategies,
and the validation of
preclinical studies, leading to
commercialized technologies
for diagnosing or treating
human disease. Through
cohesive collaboration,
researchers in the center work
together and share ideas in
hope of advancing biomedical
technologies in various
research fields.
