Edith Wang is an Associate Professor and Assistant Dean of Basic Sciences at the University of Washington, where she conducts research in the Department of Pharmacology. Her lab focuses on the regulation of gene transcription and the role of cell proliferation in human disease. Her primary interest lies in the TFIID transcription factor complex, investigating how mutations in TAF subunits lead to various forms of cancer and neurological disorders. She employs molecular structural biology and biochemical techniques to explore the normal function of TAF1, the largest TFIID subunit, and characterizes the debilitating mutations that contribute to significant health issues. Wang's long-term goal is to understand the dysregulation of gene transcription that promotes disease, thereby identifying new diagnostic and therapeutic approaches to enhance human health.
