Open Positions for Research Assistants in Guo Lab
Date:2024-12-18

Laboratory Introduction

The Guo laboratory at CIMR works on uncovering the molecular and genetic mechanisms that regulate tissue growth and organ size control, as well as understanding how dysregulation of these processes contributes to human diseases.

 

A. Major Research Projects

The Guo lab will use various model systems and integrate cutting-edge techniques in genetics, cell biology, and bioinformatic, with the aims of elucidating fundamental biological principles and identifying novel pathways involved in disease pathogenesis.

 

1. Conducting genome-wide screening in Drosophila and mouse models to identify key genes that regulate tissue growth and organ size.

2. Investigating the role of tissue mechanics in regulating tissue growth and how physical forces and mechanical properties influence cellular behavior. Additionally, we explore how the tumor microenvironment’s physical properties affect tumor growth and immune response.

3. Investigating the role of the Hippo signaling pathway in normal developmental processes and how its disruption contributes to congenital developmental diseases, with a particular focus on neurodevelopmental disorders.
