Drug Discovery for Neurological and Psychiatric Disorders
Dr. Wang’s lab conducts research on drug discovery for neurological and psychiatric disorders, including Alzheimer’s disease and depression, with the final goal of translating preclinical findings into clinical applications. These conditions are characterized by complex interrelated biological and pathological processes and are strongly influenced by both genetic and environmental factors. Her research focuses on dissecting the pathogenic mechanisms underlying the onset and progression of these conditions and on identifying potential preventative and therapeutic interventions targeting these mechanisms. For complex disease conditions, she strongly believes that simultaneously targeting multiple disease mechanisms will increase the likelihood of clinical success.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.

Dr. Wang has not yet completed reporting of Industry relationships.

Mount Sinai's faculty policies relating to faculty collaboration with industry are posted on our website. Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
