Brief Introduction:
Hao Wang received his M.D. in Radiological Medicine from Peking Union Medical College in 2012. He completed his postdoctoral training at Harvard Medical School from 2017 to 2020. He joined the Medicine School of Tianjin University in 2021. His current research focuses on radiation medicine and biomedical engineering, particularly in the areas of molecular imaging and biomaterials. He has published over 50 papers in peer-reviewed journals such as Science Advances, Advanced Materials, Advanced Functional Materials, Nano Letters, Nano Today, Trends in Pharmacological Sciences, and Coordination Chemistry Reviews; several of these papers have been recognized as hot papers (top 1‰) or ESI highly cited papers, with a total citation count exceeding 5,000. Dr. Wang has served as principal investigator for several funds such as National Natural Science Foundation of China projects, sub-project of the National Key Research and Development Program of China, and general projects of the Tianjin Natural Science Foundation. He is also a member of the Radiological Toxicology Professional Committee of the Chinese Society of Toxicology.
