Dr. Wang, a mother of two, graduated from the medical school of Norman Bethune University of Medical Sciences, in Changchun, a city in Northeastern China, in 1983. She moved to the United States 20 years ago, and obtained a Ph.D. in Pharmacology, Physiology and Neurobiology from the University of Chicago in 1995. She received her residency physician training in 1998 at the University of California at San Diego, and in 2003-2005, at Mount Sinai Hospital in New York City. She is Editor-in-Chief of the biweekly magazine, Medicine and Life, and has been a reporter for The Epoch Times (Chinese edition) since 2000. Dr. Wang is a spokesperson for Chinese Overseas Physicians for Human Rights and a member of China Mental Health Watch. She lives in Queens, New York.

On April 20, 2006, at the White House welcoming ceremony for Chinese Communist leader Hu Jintao, Dr. Wang cried out from the South Lawn media platform, demanding that Hu Jintao stop the persecution of Falun Gong and end the brutal crime of harvesting organs from living Falun Gong practitioners. She also requested that US President Bush ask Hu to stop the killing. Dr. Wang's protest drew worldwide attention to China's egregious violations of human rights and freedom of belief, and particularly to the persecution of Falun Gong.

While Dr. Wang’s commitment to China's human rights has been long standing, she has, since April 20, worked even more tirelessly to raise the world's awareness of China's persecution of Falun Gong. She has attended numerous forums in more than 40 different cities worldwide, and has been interviewed about her White House protest and the persecution of Falun Gong by over 200 TV, newspapers and radio stations, including most major TV networks such as CNN, BBC, and PBS, National TV of Taiwan, and radio stations such as ABC (the John Batchelor show), BBC, VOA, Clear Channel, Newspapers including Post-dispatch in St. Louis, World Journal and South China Morning Post (Hong Kong), Taiwan News,. She continues to ask the world community to pay attention to China's persecution of Falun Gong and to work diligently to stop the brutal crime of live organ harvesting. In a recent statement, she said, "It will be shameful if human beings remain silent about the torture and killing of Falun Gong practitioners in China . We all should act to save innocent lives. Live organ harvesting is a crime that all of humankind should join together to end.
