We have been hoping to set up the zebrafish electroretinography in the lab to facilitate our drug discovery program for a while. When Prof. Kwoon Wong from the Kellogg Eye Center at the University of Michigan visited our department in early December, we seized the opportunity to learn from him and asked for his help to put the components together. […]
On 6/24-25, I visited Shenyang Eye Research Institute, a growing eye research institute in the Fourth People’s Hospital, Shenyang, China. During my visit, I shared our vision on using zebrafish to screen traditional Chinese medicines for better vision with the local eye doctors and research students. I am very impressed with the dedication of the […]

I visited Ho Yu College in Hong Kong last month. A good mentor Dr. William Mak has been running a great biotechnology education program for the primary and secondary school students, as well as the public there. See an old post about their outreach program in which they fit a whole research lab into custom-built […]
