    Dr. Wang has over 15 years of extensive experience in immunology and stem cell biology. He is a key inventor of the proprietary two-step method in differentiating human embryonic stem cells into mesenchymal stem cells. T-MSCs derived using this method are consistent, well-defined, of preferred biological properties and can also be expanded almost indefinitely, making T-MSCs the ideal off-the-shelf, allogenic stem cell therapy product to treat a wide range of autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases.
