Biography
Following the completion of her doctoral degree in Neuroscience at the University of Oxford, Dr. An-Li Wang joined the University of Pennsylvania. Utilizing state-of-the-art neuroimaging techniques such as functional magnetic resonance (fMRI) and electroencephalogram (EEG), An-Li has been studied the brain and behavioral effects of opioid treatment on opioid dependent patients, especially to understand how treatment affects patients’ social cognition. Also, An-Li has employed neuroimaging techniques in public health communication research, to investigate whether neural activities in response to persuasive messages could predict long-term behavioral changes, including smoking reduction and condom use. Recently, An-Li was appointed as a Research Assistant Professor at the School of Medicine at Penn and received a K99/R00 award from National Institute of Child Health and Human Development.
