Yifang Wang
I received my Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from the University of Iowa. There I built my basic science background and gained laboratory experience through years of study with many experienced professionals. I developed a keen interest in research, and I desire to help more people to live better with improved health care.
The Human Toxicology Program was the best fit for my goal because this program gives me the opportunity to know more experts across a network of majors and interests and learn from them how to make the world better. After I receive my Ph.D. degree, I hope to work as a researcher- thinking and creating more advanced technology that will be useful for improvement of health care.
