Speaker: Dr. Ying Wang
Dr. Wang obtained her PhD from the Faculty of Pharmaceutical Sciences at the University of British Columbia. After her postdoc training on translational cardiovascular medicine at Stanford University, Dr. Wang was recruited to the University of British Columbia in March 2021. Her current research combines the use of biobank human specimens and mechanistic studies to address knowledge gaps in drug repurposing for coronary artery disease. So far, she has received funding from CIHR, NFRF, CFI, and Fondation Leducq. Dr. Wang was appointed as the Director of Bruce McManus Cardiovascular Biobank in 2022. This 30-year-old biobank has the largest collections of explanted heart and heart valves in Canada. Dr. Wang is developing BMCB into a hub of pre-clinical drug assessment that will provide researchers open access to human biospecimens.
