Jia-huai Wang
Jia-huai Wang is Associate Professor at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Harvard Medical School, USA. A veteran structural biologist specializing in cell surface receptors functioning in the immune system and nervous system, he has around 140 peer-reviewed papers published, including 11 articles in Nature, Science, and Cell. In the early 1970s in China, he was a team member that determined the structure of insulin, one of the world’s first dozen protein structures solved. He has been working at Harvard since 1988. As a leading author, he has published a series of important structures, such as the first virus receptor structure CD4, the first cell adhesion interacting complex CD2/CD58, the ground-breaking preTCR-ligand interacting complex, and the prototypical axon guidance cue netrin-1 interactions. He has a deep understanding of protein structure and function.
