Wen Hong
Postdoctoral Scholar, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Wen Hong was a postdoctoral researcher at UCLA, specializing in 3D printing of metals, hydrogels, and liquid metal. She earned her Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from Shanghai Jiao Tong University, where she focused on flexible and implantable MEMS devices. Her research integrates materials science, bioelectronics, and soft robotics to develop innovative biomedical devices.
Her work covers high-resolution light-based 3D printing, self-adaptive cardiac optogenetics, and multifunctional flexible sensors. With expertise in cleanroom fabrication, semiconductor failure analysis, and finite element modeling, she has contributed to advancing bio-integrated technologies. Her research has been published in journals such as Science Advances and Sensors and Actuators A. Her long-term research goal is to push the boundaries of bioelectronics and soft robotic systems for healthcare applications. -
Yang Hu, MD, PhD
Professor of Ophthalmology
On Partial Leave from 01/05/2026 To 07/31/2026Current Research and Scholarly InterestsThe ultimate goal of the laboratory is to develop efficient therapeutic strategies to achieve CNS neural repair, through promoting neuroprotection, axon regeneration and functional recovery.
More specifically, we study retinal ganglion cell (RGC) and optic nerve in various optic neuropathies including traumatic, glaucomatous and inflammatory optic nerve injuries to fully understand the molecular mechanisms of CNS neurodegeneration and axon regeneration failure. -
Jia-Horung Hung, MD, PhD
Clinical Instructor, Ophthalmology
BioDr. Hung is a fellowship-trained ophthalmologist, practicing at the Byers Eye Institute, and also a clinical instructor in the Department of Ophthalmology at Stanford University School of Medicine.
Dr. Hung specializes in diagnosing and treating ocular inflammatory diseases, such as uveitis, iridocyclitis, and scleritis, as well as retinal vascular diseases, including age-related macular degeneration and diabetic retinopathy.
Dr. Hung’s research interests include ocular inflammation, infections, hereditary ocular inflammatory diseases, and novel approaches in managing ocular inflammatory diseases. His research has advanced screening, diagnostics, and treatment for patients with uveitis, lens disorders, retinal diseases, glaucoma, and rare ocular conditions. Dr. Hung’s most recent research explores the use of artificial intelligence (AI) to improve the identification of ocular inflammatory diseases.
Dr. Hung has published his work in major national and international peer-reviewed journals, including American Journal of Ophthalmology, British Journal of Ophthalmology, RETINA, Clinical & Experimental Ophthalmology, and Survey of Ophthalmology. He has presented at national and international conferences on the use of technology in uveitis management.
Dr. Hung is a member of many professional organizations, including the American Society of Retina Specialists, the International Ocular Inflammation Society, the Foster Ocular Immunology Society, and the European Society of Retina Specialists.
