Brief Bio:
Dr. Zengping LIU graduated from Bonn University, Germany in the field of ophthalmology in 2013, and was trained as an Ophthalmologist in Southwest hospital in Chongqing, China, prior to his move to Singapore. Currently he is a Research Assistant Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology at National University of Singapore. His translational research journey covers stem cell biology, tissue engineering (scaffold development), preclinical disease models, and clinical research. Over the past decade, he has focused on developing novel hydrogels as vitreous substitutes and functional polymers to enhance stem cell-derived retinal cell therapy for retinal degenerative diseases. As a trained ophthalmologist, he leverages his multidisciplinary educational background to bridge the surgical gap between basic science and clinical application for biomaterials and cell therapeutics, ultimately working toward rescuing vision. He has since been awarded SGD 2.2M in total competitive grants as PI in Singapore including NMRC-CS-IRG and NAMIC grants. He has 19 publications in recent 5 years in Department of Ophthalmology, National University of Singapore, which 11 of 19 are first author or co-first author in the field of multidisciplinary stem cell and biomaterial application in Ophthalmology, including Nature Biomedical Engineering, Nature Communications, Advanced Materials, Biomaterials, PNAS, and Stem Cell Reports (cover page).
