Dr. Qi Wang is associate professor of Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics, School of Public Health, Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. She graduated with a major in Preventive Medicine in 2004 and received her PhD in 2010 from Tongji Medical College. Dr. Wang’s research is mainly focused on effects of heavy metals and interaction between environment and genes on aging-related diseases (e.g., osteoporosis) and the corresponding mechanisms. She has published about 30 original papers (including over ten of them published in SCI-collected journals including Sci Rep, Osteoporos Int, Sci Total Environ, Int J Hyg Environ Health, Plos One, BMC Public Health, and BMC Health Serv Res).
