Assistant Professor
Columbia University Medical Center
Dr. Jianing Fu is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Medicine at Columbia University and a principal investigator at the Columbia Center for Translational Immunology (CCTI). Dr. Fu obtained her BS degree in Pharmaceutical Sciences and MS degree in Chemical Biology from Peking University and received her PhD in Cancer Biology and Immunology from University of South Florida and H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center. She did a Curricular Practical Training at Medical University of South Carolina to complete her doctoral education. Dr. Fu joined Columbia University in May 2015 to start her postdoctoral training and later took the lead on several projects related to human organ transplantation.
At Columbia, Dr. Fu’s laboratory is conducting translational research on decoding the graft-versus-host (GvH) and host-versus-graft (HvG) alloreactivity after human intestinal transplantation and lung transplantation. Her research also extends in investigating the phenotype and function of gut and lung hematopoietic stem cells and progenitors, with the ultimate goal of eliminating graft rejection by inducing long persistent blood mixed chimerism. Dr. Fu has established long term multidisciplinary collaboration with transplant surgeons, adult and pediatric physicians, pathologists, bioinformatic scientists and translational immunologists to perform cutting edge human transplantation studies.
