Prof. Chunming Wang
Uncovering biological activities in polysaccharides for tissue repair
Chunming (CM) Wang is a Professor at the University of Macau, in the fascinating town of Macau with unique East-meets-West culture for five centuries. He received both BSc and MSc in Biochemistry from Nanjing University (China) and PhD in Biomedical Engineering from Nanyang Technological University (Singapore). Then, he undertook his postdoctoral training at the University of Cambridge (UK), working between Professor Wilhelm Huck’s group in the Chemistry Department and Professor Fiona Watt’s lab at the Wellcome Trust Centre for Stem Cell Research. He later assisted Dr Victor Nurcombe and Dr Simon Cool at the A*STAR – Institute of Medical Biology (Singapore) on an industry-led translational project. In Oct 2012, CM started his independent research as an Assistant Professor at the University of Macau, before being promoted to Associate Professor and full Professor in Aug 2018 and Aug 2022, respectively. His research focuses on devising glycan biomaterials for tissue repair.
