About Yan Wang

Highly-motivated Senior Research Investigator with extensive immunology/oncology and human translational research experience· Independent and creative problem solver, offering deep knowledge and hands-on experience in a variety of immunology, molecular biology assays and bioinformatics analysis (eg. scRNAseq)· Great management, effective communication, and interpersonal skills with ability to excel at teamworkI am interested in in understanding what causes autoimmune disease in order to develop targeted immunotherapies for these conditions. Using insight gained from studying autoimmune disease, I am also interested in developing immunotherapies that enhance anti-cancer immunity.LABORATORY SKILLS & ABILITIES· Immunology: multiparameter flow cytometry (15 colors), FACS sorting (BD fusion), cell-based immune assay, ELISA, cytokine assay, T cell differentiation/proliferation/suppression assays, Hybridoma technology and antibody-based immunotherapies, immunofluorescent/immunochemistry staining· Molecular Biology: western blot, qPCR, RNA-seq, single-Cell RNA-seq, ChIP-seq and analysis, Cloning, Adenoviral/lentiviral transduction/transfection, gel electrogenesis· Cell biology: primary cell culture, mammalian cell line culture, human PBMCs, confocal microscopy · Animal Model: rodent techniques, autoimmune disease and cancer models· Statistics: student’s t-test, Wilcoxon test, ANOVA, Linear regression, Differential gene expression analysis· Software: FlowJo, GraphPad Prism, Seurat (R), GSEA, IPA, MS office, Illustrator, Adobe Acrobat
