A key area of interest in Professor Wang’s research program is centered in the area of molecular biochemistry & molecular biology with an emphasis on nutritional Glycobiology/Sialobiology and brain function. The overall goal of her research program is to elucidate the molecular and cellular basis of how nutrient components alter metabolic responses important in health and disease prevention from fetus to late life. Her particular interest is in neurodevelopment, cognitive function, eye and vision function, gut-brain axis for brain cognitive function using piglet as an animal model. Her research team also has experience in translating basic science discoveries to human and animal clinical trials for the development of functional foods
