Biography

Dr Yanping Wang is a Professor of Food Engineering and Biotechnology in Tianjin University of Science and Technology. Dr/Prof Wang received her Bachelor’s degree in Biology at Nankai University in 1984 and Master’s degree in at Microbial Pharmacology Peking Union Medical College in 1987. She joined Tianjin Institute of Light Industry for seven years as a lecturer and became an associate professor in 1996. In 1997, she received her doctoral degree in the subject of Fermentation Engineering at Tianjin Institute of Light Industry. Dr Wang pursued a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Florida in the USA from 2000 to 2002. She has been working at Tianjin University of Science and Technology and became a full professor in 2003. She has published over one hundred scientific papers and supervised more than one hundred graduate students including two international students.

Research Interests

Dr Wang has been committed to the research of function and application of lactic acid bacteria (Probiotics) for many years. Recently, the whole genome sequence of Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens ZW3 was published in the world for the first time, which has made important contributions to the research in the field of probiotics in China.

It has undertaken more than 30 national, provincial and ministerial level cooperation projects. Over 100 papers have been published in core journals at home and abroad, 8 authorized patents and 6 monographs have been published. It has won 2 items of the three prize for scientific and technological progress in Tianjin. For many years, She has been in the forefront of teaching, and has won the title of the famous teacher in Tianjin. As the principal of the "food biotechnology" and "biochemistry" undergraduate course, it has won the excellent course of Tianjin city. Once won the honorary title of "2003 outstanding students who returned to the country of Tianjin in 2003", which was awarded by the Tianjin municipal government, and the "3 8" red flag of Tianjin City, and was repeatedly rated as an excellent teacher of the Tianjin University of Science and Technology.
