Biography

Dr. Wang’s PhD carried out at the University of South Australia focused on the associations between low birth weight and the risk of cardiovascular disease in adult life. Her studies demonstrated that reduced substrate supply in utero from low birth weight negatively impacts heart development in adulthood. As an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow at the School of Human Sciences, Dr. Wang's research explores critical themes including the associations between low birth weight and asthma, and characterizing airway fat in the context of comorbid obesity-asthma, while testing drugs that mitigate excessive airway muscle. She has received multiple research grants, including the 2025 Diabetes Research Western Australia Project Grant valued at $60,000, and the 2023 UWA Rolling Research Infrastructure Fund Round 2 Grant at $110,000. Dr. Wang has been made a Fellow of the American Thoracic Society in recognition of her commitment to excellence in pulmonary, critical care, and sleep medicine.
