Quan (Donny) V. Hoang, MD, PhD
Clinical Associate Professor, Ophthalmology
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsDr. Hoang's research focuses on extreme near-sightedness, a significant cause of blindness, especially in Southeast Asia. While mild myopia is merely inconvenient, pathologic myopia involves extreme levels of lifelong, progressive eye elongation and eyewall thinning that can lead to blindness. He employs cutting-edge non-invasive imaging to identify patients at greatest risk of vision loss, and leads lab-based studies to discover novel treatments to stunt near-sightedness.and prevent blindness.

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.
