Fei Wang, Ph.D.

Fei Wang joined the Division of Aging Biology (DAB) in 2023, as the Chief of the Translational Research Branch and Program Director of the Reproductive, Regenerative, and Synthetic Biology Programs. She has served the NIH extramural research communities since 2003 and provided leadership in activities at NIH-wide and federal levels. Some notable achievements in her career were co-author of the Multi-Agency Tissue Engineering Science Interagency Federal Working Group strategic plan, long-term involvement in the NIH/NCATS Tissue Chip Program, and leading the NIH scientific collaboration with NASA in 2009. She also co-led the scientific program activities for the Armed Forces Institute of Regenerative Medicine, an NIH collaboration with the U.S. Military since its inception in 2007.

Before joining the DAB, her career spanned four other NIH institutes (NIGMS, NIAMS, NIBIB, and NHLBI). Dr. Wang was the Chief of the Biophysics Branch in NIGMS and managed research portfolios in the biophysics of membranes and membrane proteins, and some biotechnologies programs. She was a senior program director in NIAMS, led a program analyst team and managed research portfolios in the musculoskeletal developmental biology, tissue engineering and regenerative medicine programs, as well as the muscle biophysics and cell biology program. While serving at the NIBIB, Dr. Wang managed research portfolios in the tissue engineering and the biosensors and platform technologies programs. Prior to her NIH extramural research career, she conducted muscle research in the Division of Intramural Research at the NHLBI.
