Research Areas:

Dr. Wang’s research focuses on understanding the pathogenesis of hematological malignancies and stem cell studies. In particular, Dr. Wang is interested in identifying the genes that are disrupted in these disorders, and developing the new therapeutic strategies for patients with these diseases. Blood cells are generated by hematopoietic stem cells, which are proposed to be the cell of origin in leukemia and we are studying how their behavior goes awry when the cells become transformed. Cancer stem cells show loss of normal growth control mechanisms, leading to abnormal cell division, survival and expansion. The development of hematological malignancies is commonly associated with aberrant transcriptional regulation, where genes are inappropriately turned on or off. In most cases, correcting these abnormalities would block the development or progression of hematological malignancies in patients.
