Professor Bing Wang received her medical degree from Tianjin Medical University, China, and Ph.D. in Nutritional Science from U Sydney Australia and is a registered Nutritionist in the Nutrition Society of Australia (NSA) since 2008. She led Nutritional Neurodevelopment Research programs in academia and industry before joining CSU in Dec 2012. Her research is focused on the molecular and cellular basis of how nutrient components alter metabolic responses important in health and disease prevention from fetus to late life and in translating her discoveries to clinical and industrial applications. She received “The Most Valuable Presentation” award at the International Milk Genomics Consortium symposium in 2016, Davis, USA and “The Enthusiastic Research Award" at FASEB conference 2017, Lisbon Portugal and her NSA Fellowship Award in 2023. She has made major contributions to the fields of Milk Biology, Nutritional Glycoscience & Nutritional Neurodevelopment and has emerged as an international leader on the role of food sialoglycans in human and animal nutrition. Bing has been teaching animal science subject ASC223 students. Her lectures included three main topics: 1. core concepts of whole-body animal growth/growth and body composition, 2. brain and gut growth and development, 3. genetic and epigenetic regulation of animal growth and development. Bing's research interests focus on all aspects of food glycans for animal and human nutrition and health. She holds a special interest in food sialic acid, including N-acetylneuraminic acid (Neu5Ac), N-glycolylneuraminic acid (Neu5Gc), and deaminoneuraminic acid; Kdn), human milk oligosaccharides, milk sialylated glycoproteins e.g. lactoferrin, sialylated glycolipids, e.g. gangliosides and meat glycans in basic molecular nutrition, metabolism and translational research on food nutrition for health with focusing on early life nutrition in animals and humans, animal production and reproductive medicine, neurodevelopment, neuroprotection and cognition, and characterization and evaluation of bioactive compounds in foods for animal and human health.
