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<\/a> at Wenzhou Medical University<\/a> in China. We were hosted by Dr. Zibing Jin<\/a>, a very accomplished vision scientist. We visited the University campus, and the eye hospital. Logan and Fai presented their work and interacted with the local students. Fai was also invited to be the external examiner of six master students and attended their oral defence. We also visit Yandang Mountains<\/a>, a famous national geological park in China.<\/p>\n

Wenzhou Medical University<\/a> has a very pretty main campus in Chashan, with nice open space for the students.<\/p>\n

Dr. Zibing Jin’s research group<\/a> is accomplishing very well in recent years. They study genetics, stem cells, and animal models including zebrafish! In 2017 spring, they published three articles in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences<\/a>, one of the most influential journals in the world.<\/p>\n

The Leung lab has been working with Dr. Jin’s group for years. During this trip, Fai outlined his research vision; whereas Logan presented his recent findings to the students.<\/p>\n

Dr. Jin invited Fai to be an external examiner of six master students, whom had their oral defence during our visit. All these students had an extremely positive attitude and were very prolific! They all publish their work in international journals as first author, and contributed to many other lab projects as co-author.<\/p>\n
