NHS Welcomes Fudan Post-Doc
In January, the Department of International Health at NHS welcomed Weibing Wang, M.B.B.S., Ph.D., a lecturer in the Department of Epidemiology at Fudan University in China, as a visiting post-doctoral fellow. An accomplished researcher in the field of tuberculosis transmission, Wang came to Georgetown as part of the university’s partnership with Fudan. Wang has authored or co-authored 18 articles that have appeared in journals such as the International Journal of Tuberculosis and Lung Disease, the European Journal of Public Health, and the Chinese Journal of Epidemiology. In addition, Wang has served as principal investigator and co-principal investigator on seven funded grants that focus on various areas of TB research, including transmission in China, gender equity in TB control in India and China, multi-drug resistance, and socio-economic disparities in health care. Wang’s arrival builds upon the Department of International Health’s strong ties with Fudan. Currently, Frank Wong, Ph.D., associate professor of international
health, and Jennifer Huang, Ph.D., assistant professor of international
health, are collaborating with Fudan’s School of Public
Health on a federally funded grant to study HIV/AIDS
transmission among the migrant population.
