About Us

Dan carried out his PhD dissertation research in Dr. David Bedwell’s laboratory at the University of Alabama at Birmingham (2006-2012), with a focus on developing nonsense suppression therapy for a rare lysosomal storage disease called Hurler syndrome. After receiving his PhD degree in 2012, he joined Dr. Guangping Gao’s laboratory at UMass Chan Medical School to study translational gene therapy. Dan’s postdoctoral research spans the areas of recombinant adeno-associated virus (rAAV) engineering, in vivo rAAV-mediated gene delivery methods targeting different tissues, and immunological barriers in gene therapy. As an Assistant Professor since 2019, Dan continues to pursue rare disease research and gene therapy development. The Wang Lab research program is built at the interface between AAV gene delivery, molecular biology, and tool development, aiming to develop novel and enabling technologies to study and treat genetic diseases.
