Biography

Dr Wang graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University with a degree in Biochemical Sciences. She went on to spend a year in Japan on a Fulbright Scholarship. She then attended medical school at the University of California, San Francisco, during which she also completed a research year in ophthalmology and a yearlong Advanced Training in Clinical Research Certificate Program offered by the UCSF Department of Epidemiology and Biostatistics. After a PGY-1 intern year at Kaiser Permanente Northern California Oakland, she went on to complete ophthalmology residency training at the University of Michigan Kellogg Eye Center. She pursued additional training in glaucoma through a fellowship at the Stanford Byers Eye Institute, after which she continued on as faculty in the Department of Ophthalmology.
Dr Wang specializes in the medical and surgical treatment of all different forms of glaucoma, as well as cataract surgery. Her research interests lie in "big data" for ophthalmology. Her research to develop artificial intelligence algorithms to predict glaucoma patients' outcomes using natural language processing for electronic health records data is supported by a Research to Prevent Blindness Career Development Award and a K23 Career Development Award from the National Eye Institute.
