EARLY ACADEMIC PURSUITS

Shengping Hou, Ph.D., began his academic journey at Sun Yat-sen University in China, where he obtained his Ph.D. in Ocular Immunology in 2009. His doctoral research laid the foundation for his future contributions to ocular immunology, particularly focusing on the genetic aspects of ocular diseases. Following his Ph.D., Dr. Hou furthered his expertise with a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of California, San Francisco, specializing in Ocular Stem Cell Biology, which he completed in 2016.

PROFESSIONAL ENDEAVORS

Dr. Hou’s professional career commenced at The First Affiliated Hospital of Chongqing Medical University, where he served as an Associate Professor from 2009 to 2015. He was later promoted to Professor, a position he held until 2023. During his tenure, he was also a key figure at the Chongqing Key Laboratory of Ophthalmology. In 2023, Dr. Hou transitioned to Beijing Tongren Hospital, where he now serves as the Director of the Beijing Institute of Ophthalmology and continues his professorship at Capital Medical University.

CONTRIBUTIONS AND RESEARCH FOCUS ON IMMUNOTHERAPY

Dr. Hou’s research has primarily centered on the genetic and immunological underpinnings of ocular diseases, particularly uveitis and Behcet’s disease. His work has involved extensive genetic studies, including the investigation of VKH syndrome and the role of complement component 4 copy number variants in ocular pathogenesis. His notable projects have been consistently supported by grants from the National Natural Science Foundation and other key R&D initiatives in China.

IMPACT AND INFLUENCE

Dr. Hou’s contributions have earned him significant recognition in the scientific community. He has been honored with several prestigious awards, including the First Prize for Achievement in Science and Technology from both Chongqing and the Chinese Health Ministry. His research findings have been widely disseminated through invited lectures and presentations at major international conferences, enhancing the understanding of genetic influences in ocular diseases.

ACADEMIC CITATIONS
