Professional experience

Recent publications

Research and professional interests

  • Vascular inflammation, including vascular and endothelial permeability, and leukocyte-endothelial interaction
  • Insulin resistance

Inflammation is associated with various diseases, including cardiovascular disease, diabetes, and cancer. Vascular leak or hyperpermeability and increased leukocyte-endothelial interaction are hallmarks of inflammation.

Dr. Wang's laboratory uses animal and cell models to analyze endothelial signaling molecules and biological sex that regulate microvascular permeability and leukocyte-endothelial interaction under resting and stimulating conditions. Multiple research approaches have been employed in her research including intravital microscopy, cell culture, RT-PCR, immunoblot, flow cytometry, and immunostaining.
