Biography
Dr. Fu joined School of Life Sciences at the University of Science and Technology of China as Professor after he was granted the "1000Plan Program for Young Talents" award in 2015. From 2011 to 2015, Dr. Fu was a tenure-track Assistant Professor of Department of Biochemistry at the University of Hong Kong, and was a post-doctoral fellow in the Department of Cell and Developmental Biology at the University of Pennsylvania from 2006 to 2011. He obtained his undergraduate and doctoral degrees in cell biology from the University of Science and Technology of China in 2001 and 2006, respectively. He is interested in the molecular mechanisms underlying the organization and regulation of the microtubule cytoskeleton within the cells and how these mechanisms contribute to key biological processes such as chromosome segregation, cell division, and mitochondria dynamics.
