UT Southwestern Medical Center

PROF. Tao Wang

Associate Professor of the Quantitative Biomedical Research Center in the O'Donnell School of Public Health at UT Southwestern Medical Center. Dr. Wang's research revolves around using state-of-the-art bioinformatics and biostatistics approaches to study the implications of tumor immunology for tumorigenesis, metastasis, prognosis, and treatment response in a variety of cancers. Dr. Wang is affiliated with the Harold C. Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center. Dr. Wang graduated from Peking University in China in 2011 and studied at UT Southwestern under the mentoring of Drs. Yang Xie and Guanghua Xiao. He became an Assistant Professor at UTSW after obtaining his Ph.D. in 2015, and became Associate Professor in 2023. Aside from his research and investigative work, Dr. Wang also enjoys movies, cooking, and sports with family and friends.

We are actively looking to hire 2-3 students/post-docs who are self-motivated and interested in our research! We would like to provide the very best training and support for them so that they can be very successful in their future careers!
