Graduated from Zhejiang University in the end of 2011 and started to work in Guangdong Institute of Microbiology up to now. My research focuses on: the resistant mechanism of bacterial cells (Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Enterobacter cloacae, Citrobacter werkmanii, Burkholderia cepacia, Staphylococcus aureus, etc.) to industrial biocides; the resistant mechanism of bacterial biofilms to antimicrobial agents; the role of gas signaling molecules (Nitric oxide) in bacterial resistances and biofilm formation; beneficial exploitation and utilization of bacterial biofilm. I have got several grants, including National Natural Science Foundation of China, Youth Fund of National Natural Science Foundation Projects of China, Natural Science Foundation of Guangdong Province. And I have published more than ten peer-reviewed papers in Journal of Basic Microbiology, Journal of Industrial Microbiology & Biotechnology, Frontiers in Microbiology, International Journal of Molecular Sciences, BMC Genomics, Molecular Biology Reports, Journal of Proteomics, Microbial Drug Resistance, etc. Moreover, I have applied four patents and two of them have been approved. |
Biography Dr. Wang obtained a B.S. and a PhD in chemistry from University of Science and Technology of China. Prior to her appointment at Guangdong Institute of Microbiology, she was a postdoctoral fellow at the Guangzhou Institute of Geochemistry, Chinese Academy of Sciences. She is currently the associate researcher at Guangdong Institute of Microbiology. Current Research Dr. Wang’s research focuses on the physical chemistry of microbial products. Within this area, she has investigated conformation and molecular interactions of a bacterial exopolymer, poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA), and related properties, including viscosity, sedimentation coefficient distribution, heavy metal complexation, and flocculation ability. |
