Detailed Biography:

Dr. Yibin Wang received his Ph.D. in 1993 from Baylor College of Medicine after completion of his thesis work on liver gene regulation in human genetic disease. In 1998, after post-doctoral training at The Scripps Research Institute and University of California, at San Diego, he joined the faculty of Department of Physiology as an Assistant Professor at University of Maryland School of Medicine, Baltimore and was promoted to Associated Professor with Tenure in 2003. Dr. Wang became an Associate Professor with tenure in the School of Medicine at UCLA, Los Angeles, California. Currently, he is a Full Professor in the Division of Molecular Medicine at Departments of Anesthesiology, Physiology and Medicine, and also holds joint appointments at Molecular Biology Institute, CNSI and Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center at UCLA. The main focus of Dr. Wang’s research is stress induced signaling mechanism in human diseases. Using molecular genetics and physiological tools, Dr. Wang has uncovered a number of novel members of protein kinases and phosphatases as well as the underlying regulatory mechanisms of stress-signalng pathways, and demonstrated their in the pathogenesis of human diseases, including heart failure and metabolic diseases. In addition to his extensive publications in many of the top scientific journals, Dr. Wang also received an Established Investigator Award from American Heart Association, Guident Foundation Visiting Professorship from Case Western University, Ruth L. Kirschstein National Research Service Award from National Institute of Health, and Visiting Scholarship Award from Chinese Natual Science Foundation. He also serves in NIH and AHA review panels and a member of the editorial boards of Circulation Research, and Journal of Molecular and Cellular Cardiology.
