معرفی
Wenwen Tang, PhD is a Research Scientist in the Department of Pharmacology at Yale School of Medicine. She earned her PhD from Fudan University in 2007 and has since focused on elucidating mechanisms underlying inflammation, neutrophil biology, and acute lung injury. Her work integrates molecular biology, genomics, and immunology to study cellular communication pathways and therapeutic targets for vascular and immune-related disorders.
Research Interests: Dr. Tang’s research explores the roles of Wnt signaling, extracellular RNA, and lipid transport proteins in regulating neutrophil function, myelopoiesis, and vascular integrity. She investigates mechanisms of acute lung injury, ischemia-reperfusion injury, and inflammatory responses in colitis and other diseases. Her studies often involve single-cell RNA sequencing, mouse models, and collaborative interdisciplinary approaches.
Publications: Recent work highlights discoveries in VEGF-D’s role in lung vascular repair, LDLR5-mediated fatty acid transport, and Wnt5-driven myeloid cell reprogramming. These studies contribute to understanding pathological processes and potential therapeutic strategies involving cell surface RNAs and E3 ligase complexes.
Lab/Teams: Collaborates closely with departments including Cell Biology, Immunobiology, and Pulmonary Medicine at Yale. Key collaborators include Dianqing Wu, Jun Lu, and Hongyue Zhou.
