Prof. Wen-Xiong Wang was recently awarded with a 5-year “Key Project” from the National Science Foundation of China, with a total funding amount of 2.3 millions RMB. In this project, he will develop various novel technologies to study the microplastics in different functional marine organisms. Microplastic pollution has become one of the major environmental problems nowadays, thus it is critical to study the environmental risks of these microplastics in marine ecosystems.
