The immune system plays a dynamic role in the progression of neurological disorders such as neurodegeneration and major depression. My lab focuses on understanding the regulation of immune cells in the central nervous system at steady state and during neuroinflammation in such context.
Metabolism provides a critical link between environment and host genetics. My lab takes a systems and cell biology approach to investigate metabolic circuitry and its connection with epigenome and transcriptome regulation of immune cells with consequences in their function.
The Wang lab is interested in clinically relevant research and strives to create a highly collaborative environment for training multidisciplinary scientists at all levels.
