Background
Dr. Qiang Gu studied biology/biophysics at Justus Liebig University in Giessen, Germany and received graduate training in the Department of Neurophysiology at Max Planck Institute for Brain Research in Frankfurt, Germany. After postdoctoral research at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver, Canada, he was appointed as assistant professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and as investigator in the Brain Research Center at University of British Columbia. He was an assistant professor in the Department of Anatomy and Neurobiology at Wake Forest University School of Medicine in Winston-Salem, North Carolina before joining the Center of Excellence for Proteomics at NCTR's Division of Systems Biology. In 2011, he was recruited to the Division of Neurotoxicology at NCTR.
Research Interests
Dr. Gu’s research focuses on molecular changes associated with neurotoxicity in animal and cell-culture models. This effort is aimed at identifying biomarkers for neurotoxicity assessments as well as understanding signal-transduction cascades following neurotoxic insults and ultimately, molecular mechanisms underlying neurotoxicity.
