About Me
Zhe (JJ) Wang, PhD, is an Instructor in the Department of Environmental Medicine and Climate Science and a member of the Charles Bronfman Institute for Personalized Medicine at Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai. Dr. Wang is a genetic and molecular epidemiologist focused on cardiometabolic-related diseases such as obesity, type 2 diabetes, and cardiovascular diseases. Her research uses cutting-edge epidemiological, genomic, and bioinformatics approaches to assess genetic variants, clinical/lifestyle risk factors, and the interactions between genetic and environmental risk factors in understanding the etiology of these diseases and related traits. Dr. Wang received her Ph.D. in Epidemiology from the University of Texas Health Science Center at Houston, her M.Sc. in Nutrition and Health from Wageningen University & Research, and a Bachelor of Medicine from Peking University Health Science Center.

Industry Relationships
Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device, biotechnology companies, and other outside entities to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their outside financial relationships.
