Lu Wang, MD, PhD, FACMG, is an Associate Member Molecular Pathologist and the Medical Director of Molecular Pathology in the Department of Pathology at St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital (SJCRH). Dr. Wang is a board-certified clinical molecular geneticist and cancer cytogeneticist. She received her MD and PhD degrees in China and completed her post-graduate training at Weill Medical College of Cornell University and Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC) in New York City. Dr. Wang had been a faculty member in the Department of Pathology at MSKCC from 2010 to 2017 and joined the faculty at SJCRH in late 2017. Her clinical-translational research focuses on leukemia genomics/genetics and genomic profiling of rare tumors with an emphasis on clinical translation of potential diagnostic markers and therapeutic targets as well as clinical tests development. Dr. Wang’s lab-based research focuses on addressing further questions in molecular tumorigenesis of recurrent genetic aberrations identified by genome-wide molecular profiling in rare tumors, with a specific focus on functional characterization of oncogenic gene fusions. Dr. Wang also actively collaborate with researchers locally, nationally and internationally, providing molecular genetics/genomics expertise to clinical consultations and to a variety of research projects. Dr. Wang have authored 90+ peer-reviewed original research articles as well as ~20 additional publications including cases reports, invited reviews and commentary and book chapters.
