Research and Development Initiatives
Throughout Wang's academic and professional career, Wang has been involved in significant research and development initiatives. Wang developed a frontal analysis chromatographic method to separate monoclonal antibody monomer and its isoform dimer. Utilizing various analytical techniques like transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and inverse size exclusion chromatography, Wang characterized the morphology and porosity of ceramic hydroxyapatite (CHT) adsorbents. Wang also pioneered a method using biolayer interferometry (BLI) to detect interactions between human papillomavirus virus-like particles (VLPs) and contaminant yeast whole cell RNA.
Technical Projects and Contributions
Yiran Wang has undertaken several notable technical projects. These include creating mechanism models to predict elution profiles for frontal analysis and gradient elution methods, which were solved numerically using MATLAB. Wang also investigated the chromatographic response of virus-like particles (VLPs) and RNA on ceramic hydroxyapatite (CHT) using confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM). These contributions underscore Wang's technical prowess and commitment to advancing scientific research.
