Description of Research and Teaching
Dr. Wang’s current research interests mainly focus on environmental influences on maternal and child health. She conducts longitudinal epidemiological studies to examine how early life factors, such as prenatal heavy metal exposure and nutrition status, influence children’s neurobehavioral development and physical growth. In addition, the relations of maternal exposure to multiple pollutants and nutrition status during pregnancy with the mothers’ health are also explored. Moreover, she includes animal study in her research to explore the mechanisms underlying the effects of environmental factors on maternal and child health. Until now she has published several articles in top Science Citation Index journals in the field of environmental health.
Dr. Wang has experiences in teaching Pediatric Nursing and Internal Nursing to undergraduate students.
