Dr. Fu received her B.S. and M.S. degrees in Modern Mechanics from the University of Science and Technology of China and her Ph.D. degree in Mechanical Engineering from the City University of New York (CUNY). Following three years of NIH postdoctoral training at the University of California, Davis, School of Medicine, she joined the Department of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) as an Assistant Professor in 1998 and was promoted to tenured Associate Professor in 2004. In Fall 2004, she was recruited to the newly established Biomedical Engineering (BME) Department at the City College of New York (CCNY), where she advanced to Full Professor in 2010 and was appointed Herbert G. Kayser Professor in 2020. Dr. Fu’s major contributions center on elucidating the structure-function relationships of vasculature and tissue in the context of water, solute, and cell transport, as well as associated cellular signal transduction. She is a pioneer in revealing the structural and molecular mechanisms of microvascular and tissue transport in health and disease through integrated in vivo animal studies on individual microvessels and advanced mathematical modeling.
