She has cultured more than ten master and doctor students, mainly focusing on the keloid formation and treatment as well as keloid research. She is the first researcher in China to explore the impact of blood flow in keloid formation and successfully utilized that in treating keloid lesions. She is the recipient of several grants and awards from the Natural Science Foundation of China. She is the author of more than 30 scientific papers in keloid research.

Prof. Wang worked as a plastic surgeon for more than 30 years. Besides keloid research, she also focuses on the basic and clinical research in the field of breast reconstruction immediately after mastectomy, plastic surgery for localized scleroderma, external ear reconstruction and facial rejuvenation.
