About
Xiaoling Wang is a Professor at the Medical College of Georgia with primary appointment in the Department of Medicine and secondary affiliations with the Georgia Prevention Institute, Department of Population Health Science, Department of Pediatrics, and Center for Biotechnology and Genomic Medicine.
Education:
- Ph.D. in Epidemiology, Peking Union Medical College, 2002
- M.D. in Medicine, Hebei Medical University, 1997
Research Focus: Dr. Wang's interdisciplinary research integrates epidemiology, genomics, and clinical medicine to investigate cardiovascular health, metabolic disorders, sleep patterns, and biological aging. Her work utilizes large-scale population datasets to identify risk factors and mechanistic pathways in diverse demographics.
Publication Trends: Recent articles (2023-2024) demonstrate methodological consistency in epidemiological approaches while examining novel intersections between cardiovascular parameters, sleep variability, epigenetic aging, and demographic factors. Studies frequently leverage national cohorts like NHANES and explore clinical implications of lateralization, metabolic dysregulation, and circadian disruptions.
