He is also an Honorary Research Fellow in the joint liver cancer research program of Frazer Institute, The University of Queensland and Gallipoli Medical Research Foundation. Dr Wang received his Bachelor of Medicine and Master of Surgery qualifications from Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine. He was awarded his PhD in Clinical Medicine from The University of Queensland. Dr Wang has worked as a Medical Officer at Renji Hospital, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine and as a Researcher Officer at Frazer Institute, The University of Queensland.
Dr Wang has authored over 30 publications of clinical and translational research in liver diseases, including Hepatology, Theranostics, Int J Cancer, J Exp Clin Cancer Res and Pharmacol Ther. His standing in this field is reflected by awards from Australian National Health and Medical Research Council, United European Gastroenterology, European Microscopy Congress, The University of Queensland, Frazer Family Foundation and Shanghai Jiao Tong University.

Research impacts
As a translational researcher, Dr Wang has made contributions to curative efficacy evaluation in liver diseases. He real-time imaged hepatic vascular integrity and revealed the underlying molecular mechanism to predict treatment outcomes in drug-induced liver injury (Sci Rep. 2017, Theranostics. 2020). Using this real-time imaging platform, he was the first to develop modelling approaches to optimise dosing regimens of therapeutic stem cells against liver diseases (Curr Protoc Stem Cell Biol. 2017; Sci Rep. 2016).
As a clinical researcher, he evaluated current treatment efficacy of liver cancer (Eur J Surg Oncol. 2022) and primary sclerosing cholangitis (Pharmacol Ther. 2022), which has been cited by 2023 Practice Guidance of American Association for the Study of Liver Diseases.
