In 1992-1996, as a postdoctoral research fellow, he studied the pathophysiology of gallstone disease, the physical-chemistry of lipids, the biochemistry of cholesterol and bile acid metabolism, and the molecular regulation of intestinal lipid metabolism with Professor Carey at Harvard Medical School and Brigham and Womens Hospital, Boston, MA. At the same time, he studied the genetic mechanism of gallstone disease with Dr. Paigen at the Jackson Laboratory, Bar Harbor, ME. In 1996, he joined the faculty at Harvard Medical School, first as an Instructor of Medicine (1996-2000) and then an Assistant Professor of Medicine (2001-2010).

Dr. Wangs major research interests are focused on the pathophysiology and genetics of gallstone disease, and the physiology and genetics of intestinal absorption of lipids, the physical-chemistry of cholesterol crystallization in bile, and the pathophysiology of cholestasis, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, and the metabolic syndrome. His research has been supported by the NIH, foundations, and industry grants. He has published over 130 peer-reviewed papers.
