The Wang laboratory investigates three key directions: (1) cross-talk between histone acetylation and acetyl-CoA metabolism in heart repair; (2) epigenetic mechanisms for fibroblast-to-cardiomyocyte reprogramming; and (3) bioengineering approaches combining cell therapy with biomaterials. His recent work spans AI-driven drug discovery, chromatin remodeling, and metabolic reprogramming for cardiovascular applications.
Scientific efforts under his leadership address critical challenges in donor heart preservation, ischemic injury, and regenerative therapies. The lab employs advanced techniques including condensation analysis, multi-omics integration, and scaffold design for tissue engineering.
