Liping Wang received his Ph.D. in medical neuroscience from Charite – Universitätsmedizin Berlin and did his postdoctoral work at the Department of Bioengineering, Stanford University. Then he joined SIAT, working as associate professor, professor and vice director of Biomedical and Health Engineering Institute from 2009 to 2014. Since 2014, as the founder, he has become the director of BCBDI, SIAT. He also served as the vice president of the Chinese Neuroscience Society.

Dr. Wang has been granted Special Government Allowances of the State Council since 2024 and he was a winner of Guangdong Ding Ying Science and Technology Award (2023). He was also supported by “National Science Fund for Distinguished Young Scholars” (2014).

He has published 118 SCI papers in Nature, Neuron, Nature Reviews Neuroscience, Nature Communications etc. with more than 6500 citations. His research interest focuses on 1) dissecting the mechanisms of subcortical neural circuits involved in innate behaviours, including fear, feeding and sleeping; 2) elucidating the structural and functional interaction between central nervous and peripheral systems under physiological and pathological conditions, and their comorbidity with mental disorders; 3) developing new research tools and technologies for fine behavioral identification and functional dissection of neural circuits.
