Biography
Dr. Lin Wang is a Research Associate in the Department of Genetics. He is an elected member of the Global Young Academy. Before joining Cambridge, he was a charge de recherche at the Institut Pasteur, and a postdoctoral fellow in the School of Public Health, University of Hong Kong. His research interests include infectious disease dynamics, immune dynamics, and sero-epidemiology. He mainly studies seasonal infectious pathogens including dengue and influenza virus. He received the Best Talk Award at the 2018 International Conference on Molecular Epidemiology and Evolutionary Genetics, Distinguished Referee Award from the European Physical Society in 2020. He was an excellent reviewer for the IEEE Transactions on Network Science and Engineering in 2022. He serves as an associate editor for Frontiers in Microbiology, editorial board member for BMC Infectious Diseases and BMC Medicine, and guest editor for PLoS Neglected Tropical Diseases.
