Da-Neng Wang is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology at New York University. His research focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms of membrane proteins, particularly transporters and channels, through structural, biochemical, and biophysical approaches. He has published significant findings, including the structures of the formate channel FocA from Vibrio cholerae, which is part of the formate-nitrite transport family. This research revealed insights into ion selectivity and gating mechanisms of the channel, expanding knowledge of organic-ion channels. In addition, Dr. Wang’s work has identified a subfamily of FNT proteins as hydrosulfide channels and determined the crystal structure of the HSC protein from Clostridium difficile. His laboratory continues to investigate Na+-driven tri-dicarboxylate transporters in human cells, emphasizing their roles in cellular metabolism and signaling processes.
