王彤文(1967年—),英文名为 Lotus King Weiss,江苏无锡人,现为美籍华裔公民,政治活跃家。
学术背景
1984年考入上海第一医科大学(现名复旦大学医学院)医学系读本科,1988年在美国佛罗里达大学解剖细胞生物学系分子生物学及发生生物学专业攻读博士学位。1992年获得博士学位后,在波士顿麻省总院,哈佛大学医学院做博士后研究,并开始从事癌症方面的基础研究。
1994年,时年27岁的王彤文成为哈佛大学讲师,并于1997年担任该校助理教授。在哈佛工作期间,王彤文拥有自己的研究室,并在包括《科学》和《细胞》等一流的生物科技学杂志上发表多篇文章。王彤文曾被聘任为Pfizer公司和其他生物技术公司的技术顾问,多次在美国和国际会议上作学术报告。[1]2002年,王彤文的研究室获得美国癌症研究协会(American Cancer Society )100万美元的研究拨款。[2]2012年,王彤文与生物学研究者Johnson AR, Lao S, Galanko JA, Zeisel SH共同在著名的《PLOS ONE》(公共科学文库期刊)网站上发表生物学研究性文章Choline Dehydrogenase Polymorphism rs12676 Is a Functional Variation and Is Associated with Changes in Human Sperm Cell Function。[3]
2002年,王彤文开始使用西医技术手段研究法轮功对人类免疫系统的影响。[4]。
据纽约每日新闻报2013年3月6日报道,王彤文试图于2012年重新开办“全象特许学校”,该申请被纽约州教育部门否决。教育部门在回信中说申请手续不全。王彤文认为,申请被否决的原因是歧视法轮功学员。纽约州立大学特许学校协会的发言人Elizabeth Genco说,该协会在审核这些申请办学时要“看它的创始团队是否具有开办一个有学习氛围的、有财务保障的和法律上声名良好的特许学校的意愿、技能和能力”。[5]

In 2002, Weiss undertook research to investigate human immune system responses to the practice of Falun Gong -- research that would use the techniques of Western medicine to perhaps vindicate the reported health benefits of practicing Falun Gong and advance cancer research.

Her attempt to open the Whole Elephant Charter School, a Flushing boarding school for unwanted kids of Chinese immigrants, was shot down last year by the state Department of Education. The agency said in a letter her application was incomplete.Weiss, who used to go by the name Tongwen Wang, said that wasn’t true.
“Our application was not reviewed because of discrimination against me as a Falun Gong practitioner,” said Weiss, who previously said she had been arrested for trespassing and unjustly diagnosed with manic depression because of her beliefs.SUNY Charter Schools Institute spokeswoman Elizabeth Genco said the institute “seeks to determine if the founding group has the will, skill, and capacity to open an academically, fiscally, and legally sound charter” before it green lights a proposed school.
