Research summary
AI-generated

Hongjun Fu's research focuses on Alzheimer's disease and related tauopathies, examining how brain cells (especially neurons and microglia) process and mishandle tau protein, lipids, and other molecules, and how these processes contribute to neurodegeneration and memory loss in mouse models. The lab also uses single-cell and spatial gene-expression technologies to study disease mechanisms and build data resources for the research community. Note that this bibliographic record appears to mix in unrelated publications on polymer chemistry and cancer epidemiology, likely due to author-name overlap with other researchers.

Publication output grew substantially from 2017 through a peak in 2023, followed by a slight decline in 2024-2025, though recent years still show a higher and more consistent output than earlier in the decade.
