Fai’s scientific sharing with lab members

Leung Lab visited the Eye Hospital at Wenzhou Medical University in China

In May 2017, the Leung lab visited several collaborating groups in Asia and shared with them our research vision on using zebrafish to find new drugs for retinal degeneration. In this blog post, we will share some pictures of our visit to the the Eye Hospital at Wenzhou Medical University in China. We were hosted […]
