Shuwen Wang is an Associate Professor in the Pharmaceutical Sciences Department at Washington State University's College of Pharmacy. They hold appointments for both pharmacy and graduate student education, teaching immunology, pharmacology, and molecular biology courses since 2014. Wang's research bridges molecular biology, genetics, and developmental biology with applications in telomerase regulation, stem cell differentiation, and Alzheimer's disease pathology.
- PhD in Biochemistry, Dartmouth Medical School
- Postdoctoral training in Development & Genetics, Howard Hughes Medical Institute/UCSF
Research interests focus on telomerase gene regulation mechanisms during stem cell differentiation, transcriptional silencing pathways, and Numb/Notch signaling dynamics in developmental systems. Their work combines genetic model organisms (Drosophila, mice), chromatin biology, and transgenic reporter technologies.
Recent publications highlight telomerase regulation trends in developmental contexts, with emphasis on genomic environment interactions and transcription factor networks. Their 2017 Scientific Reports study examines stem cell differentiation patterns, while earlier work established foundational insights in viral enhancer binding proteins and Alzheimer's beta-secretase characterization.
Wang's career spans academic and industry roles including Elan Pharmaceuticals research on Alzheimer's disease, Pennsylvania State College of Medicine faculty appointments, and Washington State University's teaching-focused positions. Collaborations include work with Drs. Lily Jan, Yu-Nun Jan, Nancy Speck, and Jonathan Zhu across developmental genetics, immunology, and cancer biology domains.
