BIOGRAPHY
Hello hello! I'm Jason Wang. I recently completed my PhD in Bioengineering and will soon start a postdoctoral position. I spend my free time exploring a variety of interests. I can chat for hours from anything ranging from stem cells, stochastic gene expression, 3D printing, bicycles, cooking/baking, to bouldering. However, my favorite hobbies are cycling and tinkering. It's how I became a skilled bike mechanic since it's a happy union of those two hobbies! I am a lifelong learner who loves to experience everything the world offers and strive to give back in meaningful ways.
PERSONAL STATEMENT
I'm so excited to be part of I4K because it is an opportunity to be part of something bigger than myself while also connecting with the communities and landscapes across the United States. While my field of study has been stem cells, cancer research is a direct parallel; many stem cell genes are also classified as oncogenes. This experience will allow me to interact with individuals affected by cancer, giving me valuable perspectives that can help shape my research toward making the most significant impact on society.
