In 2007, Dr. Shu finished his Ph.D. in Physics at University of Oregon with Prof. Jim Remington. Then he did a postdoctoral fellowship in the Department of Pharmacology at UC San Diego with Prof. Roger Tsien. During postdoctoral training, Dr. Shu developed an infrared fluorescent protein tag and a genetically encoded tag for correlated fluorescence and electron microscopy. He is applying Physics, Chemistry and Engineering to develop technologies for biology and to use new technologies to answer biological questions.
