Dr. Wang's currently working as a associate professor at University of Cincinnati Cardiovascular Diseases Center. His research activities focus on stem cell therapies using three animal models. These models are myocardial infarction (MI) via ligation of the left anterior descending (LAD) coronary artery, heterotopic heart transplantation, and the use of a special cell patch to treat MI. These models are used to explore the role of progenitor cell differentiation, migration, and proliferation on protection and functional regeneration of injured heart tissue.The goal of Dr. Wang's projects as a collective and unified research and discovery program is to identify and develop new strategies that enhance the application of cell-based therapies for myocardial tissue regeneration.
