Resume:

Dr. Yanhong Wang received her Bachelor's degree of biotechnology (2006) and Doctor's degree of Animal science (2012) at Soochow University, and conducted postdoctoral research at the Institute of Zoology, CAS from 2012 to 2015. Then, she worked at the Institute of Zoology, CAS as an Assistant Professor from 2015 to 2023 and as an Associate Professor from 2023.

Research Interests:

Dr. Wang’s current research interests focus on the molecular mechanism of the immune responses of Aedes aegypti to entomopathogenic fungi and the regulatory mechanism of mosquito gut microbiota on immunity. Analyze the immune interaction mechanism between vector mosquitoes and entomopathogenic fungi, and design efficient green biological insecticides to screen targets from the perspective of insect immunity, achieving precise prevention and control of mosquitoes.
