Bruce Wang

Bruce Wang is a Professor at the University of California San Francisco (UCSF) within the School of Medicine. His research focuses on liver cell biology, including hepatocyte stem cell regeneration, liver disease pathophysiology, and single-cell transcriptomic atlas development. He contributes to both basic science and clinical translation in rare hepatic disorders.

Education:

• Stanford University: B.A.S. in Philosophy and Biological Sciences (2000)
• University of California San Francisco: MD in Medicine (2007)

Research Interests: Dr. Wang's work bridges developmental biology and clinical medicine, with major projects in: (1) adult hepatocyte stem cell characterization, (2) porphyria pathophysiology, and (3) creation of liver cell atlases using single-cell genomics. His team employs cutting-edge tissue engineering and computational biology approaches.

Article Trends: His recent publications emphasize porphyria diagnostics using machine learning, single-cell liver biology, and multi-organ transcriptomic analysis. Collaborative studies span from fundamental heme synthesis research to clinical trial data and computational health record applications.

Scientific Awards:

• Howard Hughes Medical Institute Research Training Fellowships (2004-2007)
• Dean’s Prize in Research (2006)
• Molecular Medicine Fellow (2007-2014)
• Career Award for Medical Scientists (2016-2021)

Grants & Leadership: Currently serves as Principal Investigator for NIH grants R01DK131227 (liver sexual dimorphism in disease) and DoD grant RA210018 (pediatric hepatoblastoma). Co-Investigator on NIH U54DK083909 Porphyrias Consortium since 2009.
