Assoc Prof. Dr. Kai Wang is an Associate Professor at the State Key Laboratory of Advanced Drug Delivery and Release Systems, School of Pharmaceutical Sciences & Institute of Materia Medica, Shandong First Medical University, China, whose work bridges chemistry, biology, and medicine. His research focuses on the design of boronic acid–based spectroscopic probes for glucose sensing and their application in fluorescence detection and bioimaging, as well as glycobiology studies that explore the therapeutic and diagnostic potential of saccharides in drug development and disease treatment. Dr. Wang has developed several innovative fluorescent probes that achieve high sensitivity and selectivity in imaging cellular glucose in live cells and zebrafish, contributing to the understanding of cellular glucose homeostasis, ROS signaling, and the interplay between diabetes and depression. He collaborates with renowned researchers worldwide, including Tony D. James, Zhongnan Wu, Shaojie Zhang, and Meng Meng, and maintains active membership in the Chinese Chemical Society and the Chinese Society of Biophysics. he has 1 document, 1 citation, and an h-index of 1, reflecting the growing international recognition of his contributions. His goal is to provide novel molecular tools and strategies for disease diagnosis, innovative drug design, and translational medicine.
