Qianbin Wang

Dr. Qianbin Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Binghamton University. He holds a Ph.D. in Material Physics and Chemistry from Beihang University (2015) and has conducted postdoctoral research at New York University, Harvard Medical School (Boston Children's Hospital), and the University of Massachusetts Amherst as a Research Assistant Professor. His research focuses on biomechanical platforms to study neural degeneration and regeneration, particularly in glaucoma and spinal cord injury models. Key projects include developing polymeric viscobeads for ocular hypertension studies, non-invasive electroretinography for early glaucoma detection, and ultrasonic gene delivery systems to bypass retinal barriers.
