Wangjufang

Prof. Wang is dedicated to the green manufacturing of functionally important proteins—including collagen, mussel-adhesive proteins and antimicrobial peptides—and of bio-based chemicals such as short-chain fatty acids/esters. She has also developed a series of paper-based sensors for the rapid detection of pathogenic microorganisms and toxic or hazardous substances. As first or corresponding author she has published nearly 170 papers in journals such as Cell Reports Medicine, Journal of the American Chemical Society and Biotechnology Advances, and her work has been cited almost 8,000 times to date. She holds 47 granted Chinese invention patents, has received four provincial or municipal science-and-technology awards, and, as principal investigator, has led more than 50 research projects—including the National 863 Key Programme, National Natural Science Foundation of China  and Guangdong Provincial Major S&T Special Projects.
