    Dr. Chu is a physician-scientist. Her current basic research focuses on how sugar metabolism pathways work together to sustain rapid cell growth in liver development and disease. The lab focuses on mannose metabolism pathways in liver fibrosis. The Chu Lab capitalizes on the strength of the zebrafish as a tool to investigate metabolic mechanisms of hepatic stellate cell activation and test potential therapies to dampen the fibrogenic response. Her research has been funded by the Gilead Sciences Research Scholars Liver Disease Award, the AASLD, and an NIH R01 award.
