Qiang Wang

Qiang Wang is a Researcher at the Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, with expertise in plant taxonomy, systematics, and phylogenetics. His work focuses on the classification and evolutionary relationships of Lamiaceae and Campanulaceae families, employing molecular, morphological, and cytological approaches. He holds a PhD in Science and has held visiting scholar positions, including at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew (2016–2017).

Research interests include:

• Phylogenomics of plant families using plastome and chloroplast data
• Taxonomic revisions of genera like Pseudocodon and Codonopsis
• Species delimitation in Lamiaceae and Campanulaceae
• Application of DNA barcoding and cytotaxonomy

His publications emphasize integrative approaches combining genomic, morphological, and ecological data to resolve taxonomic uncertainties and uncover evolutionary patterns. Notable contributions include descriptions of new species (e.g., Codonopsis atriplicifolia) and reclassification of plant groups based on molecular evidence.
