Lens regeneration and its application in cataract treatment, mechanism investigation of air pollution effects on ocular diseases.
Endocrine-Related Cancer Award, Society for endocrinology, 2016
Dr. Fu developed a novel method to generate lens from iPSCs and use this method in pathological mechanism investigation and drug screening for cataracts, investigate the association of air pollution and ocular diseases and the potential molecular mechanism.
