To celebrate Women’s History Month, JKX celebrates the work of Dr. Shuping Wang, an infectious disease specialist. Her work found problems in plasma collections in China and helped establish new standards for testing donations. Sadly, this research forced her out of her position. Dr. Wang worked at a blood collection facility where her research found a significant percentage of serum samples were positive for Hepatitis C or HIV. Her findings established new standards for how the collection of blood products was performed. Unfortunately, it came at a price as this impacted the for-profit plasma collection agency. Dr. Wang was fired for her efforts and her testing facility closed down. Dr. Wang eventually left China for a quiet life in the USA. Dr. Shuping Wang’s work saved thousands of lives from Hepatitis C and HIV infections. JKX honors the amazing and remarkable work of Dr. Shuping Wang.
