Research Assistant

Dr. Qin WANG   汪琴

Field of Research

Adipose tissue, lipid droplet, lipolysis, fat-bone axis, bone remodeling, bone resorption

Biography

Dr. Qin Wang is currently a Research Assistant in the Department of Medicine, School of Clinical Medicine at the University of Hong Kong. She received her Master in Science from Zhejiang University in 2019 and her PhD in Medicine from the University of Hong Kong in 2025. Her research primarily focuses on adipose biology, where she has elucidated the critical role of Annexin A8 in promoting obesity. In the context of fat-bone crosstalk, her work has established how subcutaneous and marrow adipose tissues differentially regulate bone resorption through depot-specific secretory mechanisms.
