Research summary

Kankan Wang's work spans two main areas: molecular mechanisms of protein degradation and circadian rhythm regulation (including ubiquitin ligase complexes and their role in tagging proteins for destruction), and genetic engineering of animal models, particularly CRISPR-based gene editing in pigs for agricultural and biomedical purposes. More recent publications also address genetic drivers of acute myeloid leukemia, a type of blood cancer. This suggests a research trajectory that has moved from animal genetic engineering toward molecular cancer biology and cell signaling.

Publication output has fluctuated over the last decade, with a peak in 2021 followed by a gradual decline to roughly one to two papers per year in recent years.
