Professor Wang Rong isWorld-renowned Multi-omics ExpertWith over 40 years of experience in research and clinical translation in this field. In 1982, Professor Wang Rong graduated from Beijing Medical College (now Peking University Health Science Center) and remained at the university to engage in scientific research, thereby launching his career in mass spectrometry. Subsequently, Professor Wang pursued further studies in the United States, earning a Ph.D. in Biochemistry, Cellular and Molecular Biology from the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. He conducted postdoctoral research at The Rockefeller University and later was appointed as Tenured Professor of Genetics and Genomics, with a joint appointment as Professor in the Department of Structural and Chemical Biology, at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai in New York.


Professor Wang Rong has been deeply engaged in cutting-edge research on mass spectrometry and multi-omics for decades, achieving numerous innovative accomplishments and earning international acclaim. His representative papers have been published in《Science》、《Nature》、《Nature Medicine》、《Nature Neuroscience》、《Nature Genetics》、《Neuron》、《JBC》、《PNAS》such as top international academic journals, with over 23,000 citations (h-index 68)


Professor Wang Rong’s primary research areas include multi-omics, cellular biology, and molecular biology. In recent years, Professor Wang has focused on multi-omics research and translational work in the field of chronic diseases, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and neurodegenerative disorders. Based on his outstanding academic achievements, Professor Wang has consistently beenNational Institutes of Health (NIH), Alzheimer's Association, Research Grants Council (RGC) of Hong Kong, and Ministry of Science and Technology of China (973 Program)review experts.


Currently, a wave of multi-omics research is sweeping the globe. Multi-omics approaches, represented by proteomics and metabolomics, can reveal the molecular changes underlying pathological manifestations, elucidate biological functions from a holistic perspective, and provide new insights for addressing fundamental questions in life sciences. Leveraging mass spectrometry platforms to advance multi-omics, proteomics, and metabolomics has emerged as a novel pathway in clinical mass spectrometry. In particular, mass spectrometry-based multi-omics is demonstrating significant potential in the early diagnosis and screening of chronic diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, and Alzheimer’s disease.


Regarding this new career transition, Professor Wang Rong stated, “For many years, I have been engaged in fundamental research on mass spectrometry and omics at universities, while also contemplating how to translate high-end technologies into clinical applications that are accessible and user-friendly for the general public. Pinsheng Medical has established a comprehensive layout across multi-omics research, mass spectrometry hardware, diagnostic reagents, and third-party medical testing. Particularly in the field of omics research, Pinsheng Medical boasts years of accumulated expertise, with its clinical research and translational achievements leading the industry. In hardIn the field of components, Pinsheng Medical is also the only enterprise participating in the research and development of domestically produced mass spectrometers under the National Key Special Project of the 14th Five-Year Plan.Targeting cutting-edge international technologies, focusing on public health issues, pursuing excellence, and daring to be pioneers,These uniqueCorporate Culture TemperamentAll of them deeply attract me.I also hope to contribute my share., join hands with Pinsheng Medical in the future to promote“Rapidly translate kinomics technologies into clinically available precision diagnosis and treatment products, truly realizing the corporate vision of Pinsheng Medical: enabling everyone to benefit from precision medicine.”


Dr. Cheng Xiaoliang, Founder, Chairman, and CEO of Shenzhen Institute of Life and Health Medicine Co., Ltd., stated: “We warmly welcome Professor Wang Rong to join Shenzhen Institute of Life and Health Medicine Co., Ltd. As a world-leading scientist in mass spectrometry and multi-omics research, Professor Wang’s scientific spirit, extensive experience, and exceptional leadership in multi-omics research and clinical translation will help us advance the clinical translation of innovative multi-omics applications more efficiently. At this critical juncture in the expansion of our internationalization strategy, we believe that Professor Wang’s addition will bring new momentum to our efforts, enabling us to create moreofImproving Public Health and Well-beingapplication, further fulfilling the corporate mission of ‘Enhancing the Quality of Life.’”
