Fei Sun

Fei Sun is a Research Fellow at the Morgridge Institute for Research, specializing in Regenerative Biology. His work employs zebrafish models to investigate coordinated whole-organism responses to tissue damage, with dual focus areas: (1) epicardial cell-mediated cardiac regeneration mechanisms, and (2) systemic injury signaling between remote organs and damaged tissues.

Education

• Ph.D., Duke University (2022)
• B.S., Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (2014)

Research Approach

Dr. Sun develops novel genetic tools and experimental platforms to map cross-organ communication during regeneration. His lab investigates how uninjured organs coordinate repair processes through long-range signals, aiming to decode fundamental principles of innate regenerative capacity.
