Personal Profile
Dr. Xiangting Wang obtained her Ph.D degree and postdoctoral training from University of California at San Diego, USA and currently is a professor of University of Science and Technology of China (USTC). Dr. Wang is one of the pioneers who studied the molecular mechanisms of promoter-associated long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) in transcriptional control and has discovered a series of previously unrecognized promoter-associated lncRNAs that were critical transcriptional modulators via regulating conformational change and thus in turn, the transcriptional inhibitory activity of RNA-binding proteins (RBPs), namely, Translocated in Liposarcoma (TLS) and its two family members EWS and TAF15. Dr. Wang was recruited to the Chinese Academy of Sciences through the “Hundred Talents Program” and joined USTC in November 2013. 
Research Interests
