Wei-Yu Lu graduated from the University of Edinburgh with a degree in Medical Sciences in 2010. He received support through the Edinburgh University Overseas Research Scholarship and the Charles Darwin Scholarship for his PhD training at the Centre for Inflammation Research at the University of Edinburgh, where he explored the potential of liver progenitor cells for cellular therapy. His postdoctoral training at the Scottish Centre for Regenerative Medicine focused on the plasticity of biliary epithelium in liver regeneration and the potential for human liver progenitor cell therapy, supported by the United Kingdom Regenerative Medicine Platform. In 2018, he established his own laboratory at the Institute of Immunology and Immunotherapy at the University of Birmingham with funding from the Medical Research Council (MRC) to investigate the role of T cells in regulating liver epithelium regeneration. Wei-Yu Lu joined the Centre for Inflammation Research at the University of Edinburgh in 2021. His research emphasizes the interactions between T lymphocytes and liver epithelium, with the aim of promoting liver regeneration through immunomodulation, leveraging insights into chronic liver diseases such as Primary Sclerosing Cholangitis.
