In the past decade, the research work of Wang laboratory has mainly focused on the neural regulatory mechanisms of organismal energy and nutrient homeostasis. More specifically, the Wang lab has been interested in understanding the follow questions: how the brain detects changes in the internal storage of energy and vital nutrients; how the brain initiates various behaviors to fulfill the requirement of energy and vital nutrients in shortage; how sustained lifestyle challenges affects the function of the brain to maintain energy and nutrient homeostasis; how the brain coordinates food intake with other important innate behaviors such as social, sex, and sleep; how the brain interacts with peripheral organs to coordinate metabolic remodeling upon metabolic changes.
