Dr Tingting Wang completed her PhD in computer science at Latrobe University, Melbourne. Her PhD subject was entitled Computationally efficient genomic prediction on the whole genome sequence data in dairy cattle. The project involved the development of computationally efficient genomic prediction methods using machine learning algorithms.

In 2016, Tingting did her postdoctoral at the Department of Economic Development, Jobs, Transport and Resources under a project titled MIRprofit: integrating very large genomic and milk mid-infrared data to improve profitability of dairy cows.

In December 2017, Tingting commenced her role as a Research Officer at the Baker Heart and Diabetes Institute. Currently, with the support of the Australian Cardiovascular Disease Data Commons (ACDC) project, Tingting is investigating the relationship between lipid metabolism dysregulation and cardiovascular disease. Additionally, she is contributing to the development and validation of polygenic and metabolic risk scores across various Australian cohorts. Moreover, she is leading projects focused on developing metabolic health metrics, such as metabolic age and metabolic risk scores, to improve the identification of risks associated with metabolic diseases, including Alzheimer’s disease.
