Research
Xing Wang’s research group utilizes nucleic acids and protein engineering to evolve new molecular binders, and create and customize designer DNA nanostructure-based “plug-and-play” platforms for bioengineering and bio-nanotechnology applications centered on healthcare. He also has training in RNA-mediated genome programming and cellular engineering, and RNA chemistry and biology. Wang is the inventor of the DNA Star and DNA Net platforms/strategy for multivalent and pattern-recognition enabled disease diagnostics and therapeutics (Nat. Chem., 2020; Nat. Protoc., 2022; J. Am. Chem. Soc., 2023, 2024).
