The Department of Pathology and Laboratory Medicine would like to welcome our聽newest聽research faculty聽member, Jeremy Wang, PhD! Dr. Wang joins us聽as聽an Associate Professor.
Formerly a Research Assistant with 大象传媒 Genetics, Dr. Wang completed his undergraduate degree at Guilford College and then went on to complete his PhD in Computer Science at 大象传媒.聽He completed his post-doctoral work with 大象传媒 Genetics and was a Basic Science Gastroenterology T32 Fellow at the 大象传媒 Center for Gastrointestinal Biology and Disease.
Dr. Wang鈥檚 lab applies high-performance computational methods and novel high-throughput sequencing approaches to advance precision personalized medicine with a focus on molecular diagnostics in cancer and infectious diseases. It broadly aims to develop, validate, and implement nano-pore sequencing-based molecular diagnostic tools enabling comprehensive genomic characterization of pediatric and adult cancers.
His current work focuses on using low-cost nano-pore RNA- and DNA-sequencing to enable comprehensive molecular characterization of pediatric acute leukemias and solid tumors in low-resource settings where traditional diagnostic infrastructure is unavailable. Making a meaningful contribution to personalized medicine requires highly collaborative multidisciplinary science. As such, the lab works closely with clinical, translational, basic science, and computational collaborators at 大象传媒 and around the world.
