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.
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.
