News, events & updates from Fudan Univeristy

Meet DING Wenchao, a researcher at the cutting edge of industry. He joined #FudanUniversity in 2023 and co-founded TARS (它石智航), which raised nearly ¥5B in a year. His team built SenseHub, a wearable device capturing gaze, conversation & action to train embodied models at industrial scale.

Fudan just took home two National Natural Science Awards and one National Science and Technology Progress Award at the 2025 State Science and Technology Awards! Proud of our teams turning curiosity into breakthroughs. ✨

From Left to Right:
YU Yanlei - engineered light-controlled materials that outmuscle human skeletal muscle
WANG Guozhen - cracked open century-old problems in homotopy theory and sphere classification
SUN Aijun - built a diagnostic and therapeutic framework transforming how we fight heart failure

A special final exam at Fudan: students don't answer questions. They write them — to stump AI. 51 students, 10 questions each, 3 AI models (Claude, DeepSeek, MiniMax) on the hot seat. The harder you make AI fail, the higher your grade.

Lariat RNA was written off as biological garbage. Turns out, it was misunderstood. Prof. ZHENG Binglian spent years chasing this "unsolved mystery”. A Science paper revealing how these splicing byproducts become harmful siRNAs that can crash plant development. www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Lariat RNA debranching prevents harmful siRNA burst in plants

Lariat RNAs are formed from introns during pre–messenger RNA splicing, after which they are degraded by the debranching enzyme DBR1. Impairment of DBR1 leads to developmental arrest, yet the mechanism...
