About Us

Welcome!

The Wang Lab has a strong interest in type 2 diabetes (T2D) and its strong association with obesity and liver disease. Understanding how to effectively prevent and treat T2D remains an urgent medical and public health challenge.

Our research will focus on the transcription regulation of hepatic glucose and lipid metabolism in the context of type 2 diabetes (T2D), obesity and Non-alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD),  aiming to discover mechanisms underlying dysregulated glucose and lipid metabolism at the molecular, cellular, tissue, and physiological levels, and eventually to develop efficient and safe interventions for preventing and treating these chronic conditions.
