The lab studies metabolism and health through autophagy, in the field of applied health science.
AboutAbout the lab
From how cells rebuild themselves to human health
The Wang Lab studies the link between metabolism and health in the body, using autophagy as a starting point.
Its specialty is applied health science. The lab applies genome editing to cultured cells and examines the function of genes one at a time.
The lab investigates how proteins involved in insulin signaling affect the process by which fat cells form and energy metabolism.
It aims to find leads for controlling metabolic abnormalities, including obesity.
Key terms
- Autophagy
- A mechanism by which cells break down components they no longer need and recycle them as raw material
- Genome editing
- A technology that rewrites or inactivates only targeted genes
- Metabolism
- The chemical reactions in the body that break down food into energy and rebuild materials for the body

The lab studies the relationship between autophagy, in which cells break down and rebuild their own components, and energy metabolism. Using genome editing, it creates cells in which specific genes are inactivated, and analyzes the process by which fat cells form and the resulting changes in metabolism.
