معرفی
Jianping Fu is a Professor in the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Michigan, with joint appointments in Biomedical Engineering and Cell and Developmental Biology. His research integrates micro/nanoengineering, mechanobiology, and stem cell biology to model human development and disease.
- Education: PhD (MIT, 2007), BE (University of Science and Technology of China, 2000)
His research interests focus on stem cell bioengineering, developmental bioengineering, and mechanobiology, particularly in modeling early post-implantation human development, neural tube formation, and pluripotent stem cell mechanoregulation. His work combines biomimetic culture systems with microfluidic gradients to study embryogenesis and organogenesis.
Recent publications highlight advances in human embryo modeling (2024 Cell, Nature, Cell Stem Cell), neural tube patterning (2024 Nature), and mechanobiology of stem cells (2024 Nature Reviews Physics). These studies emphasize computational methods, single-cell analysis, and standardization of embryo models.
Scientific honors include:
- Friedrich Wilhelm Bessel Research Award (2022)
- ISSCR Merit Award (2024)
- Fellow, American Institute for Medical and Biological Engineering (2019)
- NSF CAREER Award (2012)
- Life Member, World Association of Chinese Biomedical Engineers (2024)
Dr. Fu mentors extensively, with 20+ alumni including PhD students and postdocs now in academic and industry positions. His lab has received $3M NIH funding for immunological diagnostics and MTRAC grants for translational research. Collaborations with institutions like Cincinnati Children's Hospital and Rice University enhance his interdisciplinary approach to regenerative medicine.
