Dr. Wang received his Bachelor’s degree from Tianjin University and his Ph.D. from Nankai University. He subsequently conducted postdoctoral research and was promoted to Associate Research Fellow in the laboratory of Academician Hong Zhang at the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He joined Nanchang University as a full-time faculty member in January 2024.
I am primarily engaged in research on the molecular mechanisms of autophagy and biomacromolecular phase transition. As the first and/or corresponding author, I have published multiple papers in top-tier international academic journals such as Molecular Cell, Developmental Cell, and JCB. I also lead projects under the National Natural Science Foundation of China's Original Exploration Program and General Program.
