==Early life==
Wang was born in Nanking, China during the [[Chinese Civil War]]. Due to her country's internal strife, she and her mother and three siblings were forced to evacuate to Hanyang then Guangzhou. When she was three, they moved to [[Taipei]], Taiwan. Eventually her father joined them and remained there until 1967.

Eugenia Wang became professor of anatomy at [[McGill University]] in 1988, where she worked on the cell biology of aging at the Lady Davis Institute of the Montreal Jewish General Hospital.<ref>{{Cite web|last=Bennett|first=Gary|date=2016|title=History of Anatomy & Cell Biology, McGill University|url=https://www.mcgill.ca/anatomy/files/anatomy/history_7_-_brawer_to_end_updated.pdf|access-date=|website=McGill University}}</ref>
