Dr. Qing Mei Wang is a physiatrist who specializes in the care of patients with stroke. She obtained my PhD and MD at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey and completed my residency training in Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation at Mount Sinai Medical Center in New York. After completing her residency training, she joined the faculty at Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital (SRH), Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH), and Harvard Medical School (HMS), where she provide clinical care, supervise trainees, and conduct research on stroke recovery to enhance our knowledge and the quality of patient care.
Dr. Wang's research interests and expertise revolve around the mechanisms and interventions to promote stroke recovery. She has received funding from the NIH (e.g., K12 grant and currently K08) as well as departmental grants that aim to determine molecular biological mechanisms of stroke recovery and to develop pharmacological and non-pharmacological interventions. She is the director in the Stroke Biological Recovery Laboratory at SRH.
Dr. Wang's research involves cellular, animal and clinical disciplines, aiming to bridge basic science breakthrough to bedside therapy, including genetic study, pharmacological intervention and non-invasive brain stimulation to promote stroke recovery. There are several areas of investigation that are critical to this laboratory’s core mission:
1.Develop novel interventions to promote stroke recovery. To promote functional recovery from stroke has been challenging for both scientists and clinicians. Most of the studies are focusing on single neurorestorative agents. However, the functional recovery after stroke is extremely complex and involves multiple pathways. Therefore, the combinations of agents are likely to be more effective than single agent therapy. Studies from this lab show promising results of two novel combination therapies (a. combined atorvastatin and sildenafil; b. combined transcranial direct current stimulation and methylphenidate) for improving motor recovery after stroke. This lab strives to improve the efficacy of these combination therapies and continue to develop new regimens.
2.Understand the role of inflammation in stroke recovery. There is increasing evidence showing that the neuro-inflammatory response is an important process during stroke recovery and generates both beneficial and detrimental effects. Therefore, it is important to fine tune the immune response after stroke in order to harness the benefits while avoiding detrimental effects. These researchers use serum and primary immune cells from stroke subjects, as well as rodent stroke models, to understand the role of inflammation in stroke recovery. The data show derangement in inflammatory cytokines post-stroke. Further identification of the key players will provide new insight to develop therapeutic interventions.
3.Discover biomarkers to predict recovery and to serve as surrogate to evaluate the responsiveness to therapy for developing individualized therapy. The role of blood biomarkers in stroke recovery is still unclear. These researchers have been building bio-bank database including functional outcomes and blood samples. The current bio-bank database has blood samples and data from 300 stroke patients. Ongoing research is investigating the association of brain derived neurotrophic factor with functional outcome.

I had a really nice experience. The nurses took good care of me. The doctor who checked my back and the problem I have with my left hand examined me. [redacted] they treated me incredibly well; I can't complain. They examined me thoroughly, everything was excellent, including the translator. They took great care of me, and I'm very grateful to that hospital.

Dr Mei Wang has worked with me for four years to mitigate my post treatment lyme symptoms. She offered solutions for some of the neurological issues and is expediting a referral for a neuro/ophthalmology appointment (which is currently a 6+ month wait).

Dr. Qing Wang provided one of the most informative consultations we have had. She explained [redacted]'s condition and treatment options in a way no other providers had, which gave us much more clarity and hope. We appreciated how she discussed not only Botox, but also alternative medications, additional options, and equipment. She also spoke about neuroplasticity and encouraged continued progress, which meant a lot to us. We are very grateful for her thoughtful and comprehensive care.

Dr. Wang was very, very helpful for me this particular visit. I'm improving, but not, of course, fast enough for myself. I'm a little tough on myself. And the doctor explained all my options. She also helped me navigate what I wanted to do and accomplish. I felt the doctor was very well informed and took her time. And it's hard because being a layman, I might not understand some of the things she's saying. And also, I have a bit of a heavy New England accent. It's a little hard to understand me. And the doctor, of course, has a little

Most of the work on this last session of Botox, which was the third time I've seen Dr. Wang, there was a resident in there who did most of the work. The first session, months ago, she did all the work and she did a great job. Very, very attentive and everything worked out well. The second session, she had an aide in there of sorts, not a nurse, but I think someone likewise that was doing residence work and that likewise was well done.

Very attentive and compassionate caring person. Concern not only about my physical help but also the emotional stress. My stress is really the root of my problem. And Dr. Wang hoped I had some religious strength. Just opening up and sharing these emotions helped me. I appreciate her time and attentiveness.
