Researcher
Yu Fu received his PhD in Neuroscience from Stony Brook University and did his postdoctoral training at the University of California San Francisco with Michael Stryker, where he pioneered a method to image genetically labeled GABAergic neurons in behaving mice, and elucidated the circuit mechanisms of behavioral state-dependent sensory modulation in mouse visual cortex. In 2014, he was awarded the prestigious A*STAR Investigatorship and started his lab in the Singapore Bioimaging Consortium in 2015. The main research interest of his lab is the neural mechanisms of metabolic regulation, currently with a focus on feeding behavior.
