Dr. Ruiqi Wu received her Ph.D. from the University of Chinese Academy of Science in 2014. From 2014 to 2017, she trained as a postdoc at Vanderbilt University Institute of Imaging Science. From 2017 to 2020, she was an associate professor at the Wuhan Institute of Physics and Mathematics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. She has been a principal investigator at the Institute of Brain Science at Fudan University since 2020.

Dr. Wu focuses on high-filed magnetic resonance imaging methods and applications and is interested in deciphering information encoding in sensory systems and studying neuronal circuits in health and disease in vivo by combining functional magnetic resonance imaging with multi-channel electrophysiological recording, specific neuromodulation, and neurotropic virus tracing.  She has published over 20 academic papers, including NeuroImage (5)、Journal of Neuroscience (4)、PNAS、Neuron、Cell Discovery、Nature Communications、European Radiology.
