Dr. Aiming Wang received his BSc and MSc from Yangzhou University and Nanjing Agricultural University, respectively. In 1995, he went to Vancouver, Canada, to conduct his PhD studies in Plant Molecular Virology at the University of British Columbia. After completing his PhD in January 1999, Wang pursued post-doctoral research at the Plant Biotechnology Institute at the National Research Council of Canada. In 2003, he joined the London Research and Development Centre, Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) as a Research Scientist in Genomics Virology, and he was appointed Adjunct Professor by the University of Western Ontario. He was promoted to Principal Research Scientist at AAFC in 2018. Dr. Aiming Wang is widely recognised as a leading international authority in plant virology—particularly the molecular biology of potyviruses, the largest group of known plant viruses. In recognition of his outstanding and exceptional contributions to plant virus research, Wang received a Gold Harvest Award from AAFC in 2010, the Queen Elizabeth II Diamond Jubilee Medal from the Canadian government in 2013, the Ruth Allen Award from the American Phytopathological Society in 2018, and the Outstanding Research Award from the Canadian Phytopathological Society in 2018. His current research interests include Potyvirus (Turnip Mosaic Virus), Tobamovirus (Tomato Brown Rugose Fruit Virus), and Potexvirus (Pepino Mosaic Virus (PepMV).
