She completed her first postdoctoral training in NF\u03baB signaling in the lab of Prof. David Wallach at the Weizmann Institute of Science, Israel. Wang-Xia then pursued further postdoctoral training in microRNA biology with Dr. Peter Nelson and Dr. Guiliang Tang at the University of Kentucky. Her research has since focused on the role of microRNAs in neurodegenerative diseases and neurotrauma, contributing to numerous high-impact publications in microRNA neurobiology. Wang-Xia also devotes a significant effort on developing microRNAs as biomarkers for Alzheimer\u2019s disease and for the complications following aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. Driven by a deep passion for science and technology, Wang-Xia is dedicated to understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying brain disorders, and to advancing the search for effective treatments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:58px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n<div class=\"n2-section-smartslider fitvidsignore  n2_clear\" data-ssid=\"5\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"region\" aria-label=\"Slider\"><div id=\"n2-ss-5-align\" class=\"n2-ss-align\"><div class=\"n2-padding\"><div id=\"n2-ss-5\" data-creator=\"Smart Slider 3\" data-responsive=\"auto\" class=\"n2-ss-slider n2-ow n2-has-hover n2notransition  \">\n        <div class=\"n2-ss-slider-1 n2_ss__touch_element n2-ow\">\n            <div class=\"n2-ss-slider-2 n2-ow\">\n                                                <div class=\"n2-ss-slider-3 n2-ow\">\n\n                    <div class=\"n2-ss-slide-backgrounds n2-ow-all\"><div class=\"n2-ss-slide-background\" data-public-id=\"1\" data-mode=\"fit\"><div class=\"n2-ss-slide-background-image\" data-blur=\"0\" data-opacity=\"100\" data-x=\"50\" data-y=\"50\" data-alt=\"\" data-title=\"\"><picture class=\"skip-lazy\" data-skip-lazy=\"1\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/\/wangneuromirlab.createuky.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/slider\/cache\/46f1272170c8ab83cce21c9102047eea\/Screenshot-2025-04-28-141253-1.png\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"skip-lazy\" data-skip-lazy=\"1\"><\/picture><\/div><div data-color=\"RGBA(255,255,255,0)\" style=\"background-color: RGBA(255,255,255,0);\" class=\"n2-ss-slide-background-color\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>                    <div class=\"n2-ss-slider-4 n2-ow\">\n                        <svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewBox=\"0 0 1200 600\" data-related-device=\"desktopPortrait\" class=\"n2-ow n2-ss-preserve-size n2-ss-preserve-size--slider n2-ss-slide-limiter\"><\/svg><div data-first=\"1\" data-slide-duration=\"0\" data-id=\"72\" data-slide-public-id=\"1\" data-title=\"Screenshot 2025-04-28 141253\" data-haslink=\"1\" data-href=\"https:\/\/uknow.uky.edu\/uk-healthcare\/uk-healthcare-womens-history-month-qa-wang-xia-wang?j=705542&amp;sfmc_sub=251361073&amp;l=7849_HTML&amp;u=28104969&amp;mid=10966798&amp;jb=7007\" tabindex=\"0\" role=\"button\" data-target=\"_blank\" data-n2click=\"url\" data-force-pointer=\"\" class=\"n2-ss-slide n2-ow  n2-ss-slide-72\"><div role=\"note\" class=\"n2-ss-slide--focus\">Screenshot 2025-04-28 141253<\/div><div class=\"n2-ss-layers-container n2-ss-slide-limiter n2-ow\"><div class=\"n2-ss-layer n2-ow n-uc-H9otpSkF0eBQ\" data-sstype=\"slide\" data-pm=\"default\"><\/div><\/div><\/div>                    <\/div>\n\n                                    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n        <\/div><ss3-loader><\/ss3-loader><\/div><\/div><div class=\"n2_clear\"><\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Wang-Xia Wang, PhD Assistant Professor and Principal Investigator Sanders-Brown Center on Aging Pathology and Laboratory Medicine Spinal Cord and Brain Injury Research Center Neuroscience College of Medicine Wang-Xia earned her Ph.D. in Plant Biotechnology and Biochemistry from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Israel, under the mentorship of Prof. Arie Altman and Prof. Oded Shoseyov.
