Qing Guo, MD, PhD
 |
Dr. Qing Guo is a Professor of Physiology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC), College of Medicine. He is also a faculty member in the Physiology and Neuroscience graduate programs at OUHSC. He received his M.D. degree in medicine in 1984, M.S degree in physiology in 1987, and Ph.D. in neurobiology in 1993. He pursued postdoctoral research in molecular biology of cell death under Professor Mark P. Mattson in Sanders-Brown Center on Aging at the University of Kentucky before joining the faculty as a tenure-track Assistant Professor in the Department of Neurobiology and Pharmacology at Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine (NEOUCOM) in 1999. Dr. Guo became an Associate Professor in the Department of Physiology at the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center in 2003, and was promoted to Full Professor with tenure on July 1, 2009. Dr. Guo is the Director of Integrative Physiology Course for Graduate Programs in Biomedical Sciences (GPiBS) at OUHSC. He is also the Principal Investigator of the NIH-funded Laboratory of Signaling of Cell Death in Physiology and Disease.
Resarch Areas: Signaling of Cell Death in Physiology and Disease
Dr. Guo's research has for many years been concerned with the development of cellular and transgenic approaches to the study of cell death in health and disease.

Publications and Funding
Dr. Guo's group has published extensively in the field, many of them in high impact jurnals. Research in his lab has been supported by grants from National Institutes of Health (NIH/NINDS, NIH/NIDDK), The Alzheimer's Association, The ALS Association, American Federation for Aging Research, Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine (NEOUCOM) Research Challenge Funds, and Startup Funds from NEOUCOM and the University of Oklahoma Health Sciences Center (OUHSC).
Professional Service
Dr. Guo serves on NIH study sections and reviews grant applications for national and international funding agencies. Dr. Guo has been a regular member of the NIH Cellular and Molecular Neurodegneration (CMND) Study Section since July, 2008. He also served on NIH NDGB (Neurodegenration and Glial Cell Biology) study section and reviewed grant proposals for Alzheimer's Association, Israel Science Foundation, Georgian-U.S. Bilateral Grants Program, Science Foundation Ireland, an Health Foundation (PHF) and College of Medicine Alumni Association (COMAA) at OUHSC. Dr. Guo also reviews manuscripts for many professional journals, and serves on Editorial Boards of International Journal of Physiology, Pathophysiology, and Pharmacology, International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Pathology and American Journal of Translational Research.
Teaching and Mentoring
A high degree of success by medical and graduate students rarely comes without active mentorship. Dr. Guo's teaching experience began in 1984, and since then he has gathered excellent teaching skills through extensive interaction with students in medical and graduate schools. This has exposed him to students of different academic, ethnic and economical backgrounds, with diverse career goals and personal interests. He enjoys teaching and believes that excellence in teaching is as critical to science as excellence in research. His goal as a teacher is to facilitate and enrich student learning through motivation, discussions, insightful ideas, and responding to students' questions and feedbacks.
Dr. Guo has taught many topics including lectures and lab sessions in Medical Neuroscience, Functional Neuroanatomy, Medical Physiology, Medical Problems, Cell Death in Physiology and Disease, Mechanisms of Aging, Reproduction and Women's Health, and Journal Clubs. He has been the course director for Integrative Physiology, a core course for graduate students in Graduate Programs in Biomedical Sciences (GPiBS) here at OUHSC. He served as Chair of graduate programs in Physiology at OUHSC. He has also had the pleasure of mentoring seven PhD students in his lab. Beyond his own laboratory, he served on many PhD dissertation committees, covering campuses of Northeastern Ohio Universities College of Medicine and Pharmacy (NEOUCOM), OUHSC and Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (OMRF).
