Dr. Fan has been an assistant professor of biology in the Department of Natural Sciences at the University of Michigan-Dearborn since 2020. His work focuses on the chirality, or "handedness," of human cells. He explores the implications of cell chirality for human health, particularly in relation to cardiovascular physiology, cancer, and neurodegenerative diseases. His pioneering studies demonstrated that the handedness of cells is closely associated with tissue and organ functions within the human body. Dr. Fan has discovered the rightward chirality of endothelial cells and its connection to endothelial permeability, a crucial factor in progression of potential vascular diseases. The intriguing aspects of cell chirality inspire his research team to dedicate their efforts to investigating this field. The ultimate endeavor of his lab is to develop novel preventive and therapeutic strategies for human diseases by utilizing the chiral property of cells.
