Biography

Dr. Jingxin Wang is an Assistant Professor in the Biological Sciences Division at the University of Chicago. With a PhD in Chemistry from the University of Maryland, Dr. Wang's research focuses on Chemical Biology, Drug Design, Gene Expression Regulation, Oligonucleotides, RNA Degradation, and RNA Splicing. The Wang Lab is dedicated to designing new chemical probes and drug-like molecules for treating diseases through innovative chemical genetic methods and mechanistic studies in RNA biology. The lab's major research directions involve new molecules and mechanisms controlling RNA splicing and degradation, as well as the development of chimeric small- and macro-molecules that can recruit new functions to RNAs. Notable publications include contributions to understanding RNA-degrading chimeras targeting SARS-CoV-2 and the recognition of small-molecule splicing modulators.
