Ying Wang

Dr. Ying Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Biomedical Engineering at Binghamton University. She leads the Bioinspired Microdevices & Microphysiological Systems Laboratory, focusing on developing human-based functional tissues and biomimetic systems for disease modeling, drug screening, and regenerative medicine. Her research emphasizes multi-organ-on-chip technologies to study brain cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and metastasis.

Dr. Wang holds a PhD in Biomedical Engineering from the University of California, Davis, where she studied dietary lipids and endothelial inflammation. She completed her postdoctoral training at Cornell University under Professors Michael Shuler and Harold Craighead, developing microphysiological systems for blood-brain barrier modeling and cancer metastasis. Her work has been recognized with the Biotechnology & Bioengineering Gaden Award and an HHMI Fellowship.

Research interests include microfluidic platforms, tissue engineering, and AI-driven drug discovery. She teaches courses such as BME213 Biomolecular Engineering and BME484 AI in BME. Her lab actively collaborates on projects like metastatic brain tumor modeling and composite biomaterials for bone regeneration.

Dr. Wang advises a multidisciplinary team of graduate and undergraduate students, postdoctoral associates, and has mentored over 20 researchers. Her lab’s innovations aim to replace animal models with human-relevant systems for accelerating therapeutic development.
