Dongqing Wang, PhD, MPH (he/him/his)

Assistant Professor
George Mason University
Fairfax, Virginia, United States

Dr. Dongqing Wang is an Assistant Professor of Epidemiology in the Department of Global and Community Health at George Mason University College of Public Health. Dr. Wang’s research focuses on the nutritional determinants of maternal, child, and adolescent health in low- and middle-income countries. A primary domain of Dr. Wang’s research is the distributions, determinants, and consequences of inadequate and excessive gestational weight gain. In this domain, Dr. Wang addresses knowledge gaps related to gestational weight gain by pooling individual participant data from national surveys, observational cohort studies, and randomized controlled trials conducted in low- and middle-income countries. Dr. Wang’s research also leverages gestational weight gain to inform individualized nutritional intervention in resource-limited settings. Another area of Dr. Wang's work is the impacts of maternal nutrient and food supplementation on the short- and long-term health of mothers and children, including optimal strategies for targeted nutritional supplementation. Dr. Wang is also interested in adolescent nutrition and school-based interventions to address the double burden of adolescent malnutrition. Dr. Wang is the Co-Investigator of several randomized controlled trials of nutritional interventions among mothers, children, and adolescents in sub-Saharan Africa. Dr. Wang received his Ph.D. in Epidemiology from the University of Michigan and completed postdoctoral training in the Department of Global Health and Population at Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health.
