Wang joined the Shenzhen Medical Academy of Research and Translation (Smart) as a senior research fellow at the Institute of Human Immunology last month, according to an announcement on Smart’s official social media account on Monday.
Before joining Smart, she was an assistant professor of epidemiology at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMass) and a member of the 2024-2025 NIH climate and health scholars cohort.
