Xinnan Wang
Science Minds Podcast
In this episode, Vinoy talks to , professor at Stanford, who visited our center in 2017. Wang earned a MD/MSc from the China Medical University in 2003; a PhD in genetics from the University of Cambridge, UK in 2007; and did post-doctoral work in neurobiology at Harvard Medical School. Dr. Wang’s has been assistant professor at the Stanford University School of Medicine since 2011. Wang’s research aims to understand the regulatory mechanisms controlling mitochondrial dynamics and function and the mechanisms by which even subtle perturbations of these processes may contribute to...
