Research Focus
Dr. Binghe Wang's lab at Georgia State University focuses on developing innovative therapies using carbon monoxide to treat acute kidney injury (AKI). The lab's research is significant because AKI is a common and serious condition with limited treatment options. By designing prodrugs that safely deliver carbon monoxide, the lab aims to enhance organ protection during and after injury, which could improve patient outcomes in medical settings.

Career totals from OpenAlex, compared against labs that share a department. A department spans everything from one paper to tens of thousands, so bar heights are on a log scale — otherwise the largest lab would flatten every other bar to a line.
