Peipei Wang

Peipei Wang is an Associate Professor at the Shanghai Institute of Materia Medica in Shanghai, China, and currently serves as a Visiting Scholar at the Linhardt Research Labs, part of the Center for Biotechnology and Interdisciplinary Studies at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute (location inferred from address provided). Her research focuses on the isolation, purification, structural analysis, and functional mechanisms of biologically active polysaccharides and oligosaccharides derived from natural sources such as plants, fungi, and animal tissues. A key emphasis is placed on understanding these compounds' roles in cancer and nervous system-related diseases.

Education:

• Ph.D. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Ocean University of China (2009–2012)
• M.A. in Pharmaceutical Chemistry, Ocean University of China (2007–2009)
• B.S. in Pharmacy, Yantai University (2003–2007)

Research Interests:

Her work integrates interdisciplinary approaches to explore polysaccharide structures and their biological activities, particularly in therapeutic contexts for oncology and neurodegenerative disorders. This includes studying polysaccharide synthesis pathways, bioactivity evaluation, and mechanistic insights into their interactions with cellular systems.
