Dr. Dan Fu is an Assistant Professor of Chemistry at the University of Washington. He received his bachelor's degree from Peking University and his PhD degree from Princeton University.  For his PhD research under the supervision of Professor Warren Warren, Dr. Fu developed label-free multiphoton absorption microscopy methods and applied them towards biological imaging. In 2009, he worked as a postdoctoral associate at the George R. Harrison Spectroscopy Lab, led by the late Professor Michael Feld at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. In 2010, Dr. Fu moved to Harvard University to work with Professor Sunney Xie as a postdoctoral fellow. There, he developed multiplex stimulated Raman scattering microscopy and hyperspectral stimulated Raman scattering microscopy. Dr. Fu joined the faculty of the University of Washington in 2015. His main research interests are the development and applications of quantitative chemical imaging tools to study various pathophysiological processes of living biological specimens at single-cell resolution. He is a recipient of the Beckman Young Investigator Award, the NSF Career Award, the NIH MIRA Award, and the Eli Lilly Young Investigator Award.
