Te-Pei Feng (aka T.P. Feng, Depei Feng, or De-Pei Feng; 1907–1995; Traditional Chinese: 馮德培; Simplified Chinese: 冯德培; Pinyin: Féng Dé-Péi) was a Chinese neuroscientist, physiologist, and educator. He is considered as one of founders of modern Chinese neuroscience and physiology.
Feng was born on February 20, 1907, in Linhai County, Taizhou, Zhejiang Province, China.
In 1922, Feng entered Fudan University in Shanghai, initially studied literature. At Fudan, Feng was attracted by newly emerged psychology, so he transferred to the psychological department in 1923. In 1925, a new professor of physiology named Cai Qiao () joined Fudan, and the department of biology was founded. Feng became interested in biosciences, especially physiology. In 1926, Feng graduated from the biological department of Fudan (BSc), and became a lecturer at the same department.
In 1927, because the student movement at Fudan, the department of biology was dissociated, so Feng had to leave Fudan. Feng went to Beiping (current Beijing), worked and worked under Robert Kho-Seng Lim (aka Kesheng Lin; ), at Peking Union Medical College. Feng did research on thyroid secretion, with Junxi Zhang (simplified Chinese: , who later elected Member of the Chinese Academy of Sciences). With Lim, Feng studied human gastric secretion.
