Wang Tianxin

professor

Wang Tianxin is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Orthopaedics and Traumatology at the Chinese University of Hong Kong. His research focuses on sarcopenia, a condition characterized by muscle loss, particularly in the elderly. He emphasizes the importance of early diagnosis and intervention for sarcopenia, which often goes unnoticed due to the absence of clear symptoms. His recent work on the aging muscle cell atlas has opened avenues for developing new pharmacological treatments to combat this condition, significantly reducing hospitalization and mortality risks associated with sarcopenia.
