Biography

Andrew Wang is an Associate Professor of Internal Medicine specializing in Rheumatology at Yale School of Medicine. He obtained his AB from Harvard University and earned his MD and PhD degrees from the University of Texas Southwestern Medical School and University of Paris V, respectively. After completing his internal medicine residency at Yale and a rheumatology fellowship as part of the ABIM Research Pathway, he joined the faculty at Yale in August 2017 and became part of the Immunobiology faculty in July 2019. Dr. Wang's research focuses on the interplay between metabolism and inflammation, exploring the physiological and immunological pathways that can lead to inflammatory diseases. His lab employs a range of techniques that include cell culture, mouse models, and analysis of patient samples to investigate environmental and metabolic determinants of diseases such as systemic lupus erythematosus and other inflammatory conditions. He has collaborated with notable researchers such as Dr. Ruslan Medzhitov, and his ongoing academic interests include inflammatory physiology, the immune system's 'moonlighting' functions, and the effects of energy allocation on host defense. In addition to his research, he is involved in clinical care for patients with rheumatologic disorders.
