Ph.D. of China Agricultural University.Professor and Ph.D. adviser of Pig Genetics and Breeding division of IAS, CAASfrom July1993.President of Pig Science Branch of Chinese Association of Animal Science and Veterinary Medicine (CAASVM), council member of China Animal Agriculture Association (CAAA) and vice-chairman of National Swine Industry Association CAAA, committee member of Pig Professional Committee of National Animal Genetic Resource Committee, member of National Pig Breeding Cooperation Group Expert Committee, associate editor of ActaVeterinariaetZootechnicaSinica, editorial board member ofScientiaAgriculturaSinica.
2. RESEARCH DIRECTION AND RESEARCH SUBJECT
In pig genetic and breeding field, the research direction is the pig disease resistance, meat quality molecular genetic research, the new techniques of pig breeding and pig production technology development. Successively preside over and undertake more than 30 progjects (e.g. National Science and Technology Support Program, 863 Projects, et al.).
Research Subject:

3. MAIN ACHIEVEMENTS AND HONORS
Genetic parameters of placental efficiency have been estimated and used for selecting the litter size, networks of differentially expressed genes during sow pregnancy have been constructed, pig lung immune defense related gene SP-A was studied, et al. The second national largest resource population“Large White ´Minzhu resource population” has been constructed.
As the main executor, professor Wang participated in the “Seventh-Five” and “Eighth-Five” project “Breeding and specialized strainresearch of Chinese lean pig” and this project won the first prize of the Ministry of agriculture science and technological progress award and the second prize of national scientific and technological progress award. He won the second prize of the Ministry of education science and technological progress award in 2010. Three breeding technology patents were obtained by his hard work.

5. THE FUTURE RESEARCH EMPHASIS
Lead the team to develop innovative work in basic and applied research of pig breeding. Basic research mainly focuses on the whole genome breeding and gene function mining. Applied research pays attention to form breeding clusters with large pig breeding enterprise and provides breeding technology and breeding scheme for large-scale pig enterprise to improve the efficiency of pig breeding.
