Professional Interests
Dr. Wang’s clinical interests include the diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis (TB) and its complications and multidrug resistant pathogens such as methicillin resistant Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
She has research interest in rapid TB diagnostic tests and molecular epidemiology of MRSA. She has published in both areas of TB and MRSA. She is currently involved in several international Global One Health and TB projects Ethiopia, China and Guatemala and antimicrobial resistance (AMR) project in Ethiopia.
