Associate Director
Center for Epigenomics, UC San Diego, California, United States
Dr. Wang is currently the Associate Director of Research at the Center for Epigenomics at UC San Diego. Dr. Wang specializes in the application of epigenomic technology platforms and interpretation of large-scale datasets to investigate human development and disease. He was previously a JDRF postdoctoral fellow at UC San Diego where his research focused on understanding pancreatic beta-cell development and diabetes by combining human genetics, stem cell differentiation, and epigenomics in the laboratory of Dr. Maike Sander. At the Center for Epigenomics, he currently oversees – including experimental design and data interpretation - multiple collaborative projects with investigators both in and out of San Diego, including projects focused on understanding human brain function using functional organoids, the molecular basis of human diseases such as diabetes and macular degeneration, and investigating lung cell-type diversity in the context of pedatric diseases such as BPD as part of LungMAP.
