The Wang lab studies neuro-immune interactions in the regulation of stress adaptation. We leverage metabolic, transcriptomic, epigenomic analysis, cell biology, and preclinical models to understand resilience to stress and its implications in human diseases such as mood disorders, neurodegenerative conditions, and cancer.
