!!Liping Wang - Biography
\\
Prof. Liping Wang's research contributions focus on: 1) Pioneering the dissection of subcortical neural circuit and cellular mechanisms governing innate behaviors such as fear, feeding, and sleep, by integrating advanced animal behavior analysis techniques and optogenetics-based neural modulation tools developed by his team. 2) Elucidating structural and functional interactions between the central nervous system and peripheral systems under physiological and pathological conditions, particularly their relevance to mental disorder comorbidities. These discoveries provide critical structural and functional evidence for the "survival circuitry" in organisms, demonstrating that the brain employs conserved and universal strategies to coordinate emotional behavioral outputs and maintain systemic homeostasis. From an interdisciplinary perspective bridging neurobiology and integrative physiology, his findings offer novel insights into the brain-body interaction in a holistic view. To date, he has published over 130 research papers in journals including Nature (2007), Nature Methods (2006), Nature Reviews Neuroscience (2023), Neuron (2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2019), JCI (2020), and Nature Communications (2021, 2016a, 2016b, 2015a, 2015b, 2014).\\

Prof. Liping Wang received his Ph.D. in medical neuroscience from Charite -Universitatsmedizin Berlin and completed postdoctoral training at the Department of Bioengineering, Stanford University. He joined SIAT in 2009, and has been the founding director of BCBDI at SIAT since 2014. Under his leadership, several talented European scientists, such as Dr. Robert Konrad Naumann and Dr. Bernhard Schaefke were successfully recruited to the SIAT, making outstanding contributions to the development of China–Europe collaborations and the advancement of neuroscience.
