Wen Wang

Prof Wen Wang is Professor of Biomedical Engineering and Vice-Principal and Executive Dean for Science and Engineering at Queen Mary University of London, affiliated with the School of Engineering and Materials Science and the Centre for Bioengineering. He is a Chartered Engineer and holds fellowships from the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (FIMechE), Higher Education Academy (FHEA), American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (FAIMBE), and the Royal Academy of Engineering (FREng), reflecting his leadership and technical excellence in engineering and biomedical sciences.

His research focuses on vascular bioengineering, biomaterial mechanics, and cell biomechanics, with particular emphasis on the endothelial glycocalyx, vascular stem cells, and transmembrane transport. He employs advanced techniques such as AFM nano-indentation, confocal microscopy, and microfluidic platforms to study the mechanical properties, shear stress responses, and structural stability of biological systems. His work spans from fundamental biophysics to translational applications in drug delivery and cardiovascular disease.

Prof Wang has led multidisciplinary research projects in the UK and through international collaborations with partners in the US, China, and Japan. His recent publications highlight sustained contributions to understanding microcapsule mechanics, extracellular vesicles, biofluid dynamics, and biomolecular sensing. His work integrates experimental and computational modeling, particularly in microcirculation and cellular transport phenomena.

He has received notable scientific recognition through multiple prestigious fellowships and has published extensively in high-impact journals including Nature Communications, Journal of Controlled Release, Biosensors and Bioelectronics, and Journal of Fluid Mechanics. His research demonstrates a strong trajectory in both fundamental discovery and applied biomedical innovation.

Prof Wang actively supervises research and collaborates with clinical and engineering partners at Queen Mary and King's College London. His leadership in the School of Engineering and Materials Science underscores his role in shaping academic strategy and research excellence in science and engineering at Queen Mary University of London.
