For
fifteen years Dr. Wang has been a leader in the field of aging
research and apoptosis, the process of programmed cell death.
She was one of the earliest researchers that identified genes
and proteins which served to accelerate or retard the process
of apoptosis. Her laboratory currently investigates human longevity-assurance
genes (hLAG), which keep essential homeostatic molecular processes
operational to extreme old age. Using various molecular and biochemical
methods and biochip technology, her lab is performing gene screening
methodology to identify hLAG genes. Currently Dr. Wang operates
laboratories in the Bloomfield Centre and at the University of
Kentucky in Louisville, KY.
