Her lab is applying/developing single molecule fluorescence microscopy to study the ribosome translation mechanism. They have developed a FRET system that specifically monitoring the peptidyl transfer reaction mechanism and the tRNA dynamics during translation cycles. Wang also studies the translational kinetics and its effects on co-translational foldings. Meanwhile, Wang is applying/developing a magnetic sensing method to determine the mechanical forces generated in translation to warrant speed and fidelity. Her group has developed a unique cutting-edge atomic magnetometry using nucleic acid duplexes to measure the forces precisely. Wang is interested in studying the antibiotic inhibition mechanism and developing new antibiotics. She is also interested in developing non-invasive, sensitive early detection of cancer biomarkers from minimal bio samples or body fluids.  Publications/Creative Works Click here to search for this faculty member's publications on PubMed.  Affiliations  Training Grants Houston Area Molecular Biophysics Training Program  Research Consortia GCC Cluster for Cellular and Molecular Biophysics  Appointments Title Department / School Institution Associate Professor Biology and Biochemistry University of Houston
