Biography

Dr. Ting Fu is an Assistant Professor at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, where he leads a laboratory focused on the role of nuclear receptors in regulating gastrointestinal homeostasis in both healthy and disease states. His research is particularly centered on how dietary and microbial-induced bile acids sensed by the Farnesoid X Receptor (FXR) affect intestinal development, differentiation, and inflammation, with a specific focus on colorectal cancer (CRC) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Dr. Fu completed his postdoctoral training in Dr. Ronald Evans' lab at the Salk Institute of Biological Sciences, following his Ph.D. training at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He encourages graduate students and postdocs interested in joining his lab to reach out via email.
