C.V. of Meng-Ya Wang

Meng-Ya Wang, male, born in 1959 in Shexian County of Anhui Province, is professor and chairman in Department of Physiology, Department of Anesthetic Physiology, and head in Cell Electrophysiology Lab, Wannan Medical College, Wuhu, Anhui, China.

     Dr. Wang graduated from Faculty of Medicine in 1982 with M.D., from Department of Pharmacology in 1985 with M.S. in Wannan Medical College.  After his graduate study of 3 years, he was awarded Ph.D. in Neurobiology from Shanghai Brain Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences in 1993.  And in this year, he was exceptionally promoted as a professor of physiology for his excellent performance.  He was a Research Associate from 1988 to 1990 in Department of Pharmacology, Loyola University of Chicago, USA.  During 1995 ¨C 1998, he jointly worked as a visiting professor in Shanghai Brain Research Institute, Chinese Academy of Sciences.  And from 1997 to 1998 he was appointed Visiting Professor in Department of Anesthesia, Stanford University School of Medicine, USA.  Since December of 2000, he has been a joint-appointed professor in School of Life Sciences, University of Science and Technology of China.  Dr. Wang is vice chair of the Executive Council of Anhui Provincial Society for Physiological Sciences and Anhui Provincial Society for Neuroscience.  Since 1997, he has been a member of editorial board of Acta Physiol. Sin.  He has also been an Associate Editor-in-Chief of J. Wannan Med. College since 2001.  His research has involved several fields of mathematical pharmacology (timed dose-response relationship of drug action), cell electrophysiological and pharmacological studies on neurons in sympathetic ganglia and motoneurons in spinal cord slices, studies on mechanisms underling effects of ethanol and general anesthetics.  He is good at cell electrophysiology and pharmacology of neurons in brain or spinal cord slices and has completed several projects granted by National Natural Science Foundation of China, Ministry of Health and so on.  His current research interest is concentrated at combined study of patch-clamp, intracellular calcium imaging and single cell RT-PCR in brain or spinal cord slices on mechanisms of slow synaptic transmission and action of general anesthetics.  He has published more than 50 original papers in journals such as J. Physiol., Br. J. Pharmacol., J. Pharmacol. Exp. Ther., J. Neurophysiol., Acta Pharmacol. Sin. and Acta Physiol. Sin., etc.  He was awarded some prizes such as Anhui Natural Science Prize.
