Education
Xianming Wang is an accomplished researcher originally from China. He earned his Master’s degree from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2011 and went on to complete his Doctoral studies at the Technical University of Munich in Germany in 2020. With a diverse range of expertise, he has worked extensively with stem cells, gene editing, disease modeling, stem cell-derived islets, and 3D organoid culture. As a member of the Huangfu lab, his research is focused on discovering new targets for beta cell regeneration and therapy.
