Bio
Dr. Lei Wang is a post-doctoral associate advised by Prof. Ron Weiss in the department of Biological Engineering and the Synthetic Biology Center (SBC) at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Her scientific career has followed an unconventional trajectory from microfluidics and biosensors to mammalian synthetic biology. Dr. Wang received her Ph.D. in Bioengineering at Colorado State University (CSU). She was advised by Prof. David Dandy and worked in his lab, where she applied fundamental microfluidics and biosensor approaches for developing point-of-use microorganism detection and diagnostic microsystems. She also developed cancer-on-a-chip model to explore interactions between anti-cancer drugs and cancer cells under a physiologically relevant hypoxia microenvironment. Besides that, she also advanced research on cancer stem cells labeling, viral biosensing, and inertial microfluidic technology.
Dr. Lei Wang is passionate in developing novel bioengineering technologies to address emerging biomedical challenges and ultimately making real-world impacts on improving human health. Mammalian synthetic biology is advancing the genetic programming inside cells, while micro-engineering technology is a game changer in life sciences to finely control microenvironments outside cells. Leveraging the advancements of both fields will provide unprecedent opportunities for studying, understanding and developing treatments against previously intractable diseases. Therefore, Dr. Wang is following such an unconventional research trajectory from microfluidics to synthetic biology. Her current research utilizes synthetic biology to build programable hiPSCs and organoids as better models of human physiology. Specifically, she developed automated genetic circuits to guide multi-step differentiation from hiPSCs to mesoderm (intermediated state) and then endothelial lineage.
