Since she has been director, the GCRC has developed a number of research training courses including introduction to clinical research, responsible conduct of research, biostatistics, genomics and proteomics for clinical research, and conducting clinical trials. She is an endocrinologist with a special interest in male reproductive medicine. Her current research includes hormonal methods of male contraception; biological effects of androgen replacement on bone, muscle, fat, prostate, mood and cognitive function in hypogonadal and aging men; ethnic and nutritional influences on androgen metabolism with implications for benign prostatic hyperplasia and prostate cancer; the mechanisms of male reproductive aging using animal models; assessment and treatment of male infertility; effects of environment on sperm function and quality, and regulation of germ cell proliferation and death. Dr. Wang supervises an Andrology laboratory for specialized semen analyses. Techniques also include: hormone measurements, semen analyses, tissue culture, pharmacokinetics, stable isotopic methods for evaluation of androgen metabolism and reproductive steroids, assessment of parameters of bone turnover, assessment of hormone effects on cognitive function and behavior, animal models of male contraception and reproductive aging.
