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
Current 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
Affiliate, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical Trials
Visiting Scholar, Ophthalmology Research/Clinical TrialsBioDr. Jia-Horung Hung is an ophthalmologist with specialties in uveitis and retina. He is a member of several professional societies, including The Ophthalmological Society of Taiwan, the American Academy of Ophthalmology, the Taiwan Retinal Society, and the Taiwan Ocular Inflammation Society (TOIS), where he served as Secretary General from 2020 to 2023.
Dr. Hung’s research interests include ocular inflammation, infections, surgical techniques, hereditary ocular diseases, and ophthalmic big-data analysis. He has received recognition for his work, including the Young Investigator Research Award in Clinical Medicine from the School of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, as well as Best Presentation awards at academic meetings. He has also been acknowledged for his teaching contributions and was part of the team awarded a Gold Medal and Best Hardware at the 2020 International Genetically Engineered Machine (iGEM) competition.
His laboratory research focuses on age-related macular degeneration, hereditary ocular diseases, and antimicrobial photodynamic therapy for eye infections. Since November 2023, Dr. Hung has been a visiting scholar at Professor Quan Dong Nguyen’s lab at Stanford University, gaining further experience in the diagnosis and treatment of ocular inflammatory diseases, as well as in ophthalmology research and clinical trials.
