Biography:
Dr. Wang graduated from the University of California, Riverside, and is passionate about computational biology, big data, and AI (combai.org). He develops advanced algorithms to extract fundamental insights from large-scale biological data. As a pioneer in mining the world’s largest biological database, he discovered that noncoding RNAs (ncRNAs) operate through a functional system distinct from proteins. This breakthrough helps explain how ncRNAs play a central role in various disease mechanisms and immune responses to environmental fluctuations. Dr. Wang further identified ncRNAs as the primary drivers in all cancers and key determinants of lifespan across animal species, challenging the long-standing protein-centric paradigm. He also developed novel computational tools to trace the evolutionary trajectory and origin of SARS-CoV-2, contributing to the understanding of the COVID-19 pandemic.
