Gao Yonggui

Prof Gao Yonggui is a Professor and Associate Chair (Faculty) in the School of Biological Sciences at Nanyang Technological University (NTU). He holds a Ph.D. from Zhejiang University (China) and has held academic roles at Zhejiang University and Hokkaido University (Japan), followed by research at the Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology in Cambridge, UK, under Nobel laureate Venki Ramakrishnan. His research focuses on structural biology, particularly the ribosome and its interactions with GTPase factors. He has contributed landmark studies published in top-tier journals.

• Education: Ph.D., Zhejiang University; Postdoctoral work at Hokkaido University and MRC Laboratory of Molecular Biology.
• Key Roles: Professor (NTU), Former Research Scientist (Venki Ramakrishnan’s Lab).

His research interests span structural biology, molecular mechanisms of ribosome function, and biomedical applications of structural insights. Collaborations include work on GTPase factors critical to ribosomal processes. No academic awards are explicitly listed, though his contributions align with high-impact research.
