Education Experience

Research Summary

Dr. Wang (wanglab.zju.edu.cn) uses an interdisciplinary approach that integrates material science, biology, chemistry and engineering to solve problems in human health. It is emphasized that using Nature's design principles to develop bio-inspired materials and devices, and ultimately, transform medicine. From the physicochemical perspective, they are focused on understanding the molecular mechanisms involved in the interfaces of cell-cell, cell-materials, and develop the tools for cancer diagnosis and personalized medicine.
