王彤文

王彤文（1967年—），英文名為 Lotus King Weiss，江蘇無錫人，現為美籍華裔公民，政治活躍家。

學術背景

1984年考入上海第一醫科大學（現名復旦大學醫學院）醫學系讀本科，1988年在美國佛羅里達大學解剖細胞生物學系分子生物學及發生生物學專業攻讀博士學位。1992年獲得博士學位後，在波士頓麻省總院，哈佛大學醫學院做博士後研究，並開始從事癌症方面的基礎研究。

1994年，時年27歲的王彤文成為哈佛大學講師，並於1997年擔任該校助理教授。在哈佛工作期間，王彤文擁有自己的研究室，並在包括《科學》和《細胞》等一流的生物科技學雜誌上發表多篇文章。王彤文曾被聘任為Pfizer公司和其他生物技術公司的技術顧問，多次在美國和國際會議上作學術報告。^[1]2002年，王彤文的研究室獲得美國癌症研究協會（American Cancer Society ）100萬美元的研究撥款。^[2]2012年，王彤文與生物學研究者Johnson AR, Lao S, Galanko JA, Zeisel SH共同在著名的《PLOS ONE》（公共科學文庫期刊）網站上發表生物學研究性文章Choline Dehydrogenase Polymorphism rs12676 Is a Functional Variation and Is Associated with Changes in Human Sperm Cell Function。^[3]

2002年，王彤文開始使用西醫技術手段研究法輪功對人類免疫系統的影響。^[4]。

據紐約每日新聞報2013年3月6日報導，王彤文試圖於2012年重新開辦「全象特許學校」，該申請被紐約州教育部門否決。教育部門在回信中說申請手續不全。王彤文認為，申請被否決的原因是歧視法輪功學員。紐約州立大學特許學校協會的發言人Elizabeth Genco說，該協會在審核這些申請辦學時要「看它的創始團隊是否具有開辦一個有學習氛圍的、有財務保障的和法律上聲名良好的特許學校的意願、技能和能力」。^[5]
