Hao-Wei Wang, M.D., Ph.D.

Dr. Wang's primary research interests include the pathogenesis of lymphomas and biomarkers in hematologic malignancies. His research is focused on the genetic alterations and resultant cellular changes that lead to lymphomagenesis. He is also interested in the pathogenesis of virus (e.g., Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus) associated lymphoproliferative disorders. Additionally, he seeks to advance the diagnosis and minimal residual diseases detection of hematologic malignancies by incorporating new biomarkers in multiparametric flow cytometry.

Dr. Wang is a hematopathologist in the Laboratory of Pathology. He has been actively working on the genetic and epigenetic landscapes of T-cell lymphomas. He also has expertise in virus-associated lymphoproliferative disorders, such as Kaposi sarcoma herpesvirus (KSHV)-associated multicentric Castleman disease and primary effusion lymphoma. He is developing new tools to improve the diagnosis and stratification of these diseases. He is also developing new strategies in multiparametric flow cytometry for detection of minimal residual diseases, characterization of therapeutic targets and monitoring of adoptively transferred immune cells in the era of cancer immunotherapy.
