Biography
Dr. Kai Wang Peking University, China
Biography: Dr. Wang received his B.E. in Biomedical Engineering from Southeast University, China, in 2010. He went on to earn his Ph.D. in Biomedical Engineering from Peking University, China, in 2016. Dr. Wang’s doctoral research focused on the hierarchical micropattern scaffold and transplantation of pancreatic islets for treating diabetes. From 2016 to 2021, he was trained as a postdoctoral fellow at Boston Children’s Hospital/Harvard Medical School in the Department of Cardiac Surgery. His research led to the development of a highly efficient protocol for differentiation of human stem cells into vascular endothelial cells. In 2021, he joined the Department of Physiology and Pathophysiology at Peking University as an Assistant Professor. Dr. Wang is directing the Laboratory of Stem Cells and Tissue Engineering, where the research is focused on bioengineering of stem cell derived vascular organoids for the disease modeling and therapeutic purposes. His research work has been published in prestigious journals including Sci. Adv (2020), Adv. Mater (2017) and Biomaterials (2016, 2017). Dr. Wang is the recipient of Vascular Biology Grant (2020). He was invited as a guest editor for JoVE and he is serving in the Editorial Board of Data in Brief and Military Medical Research.
