Michael Guo

Dr. Michael Guo, MD, PhD, is a Clark Scholar and Physician Scientist in the Neurology Department at the University of Pennsylvania. His career bridges clinical neurology and genetic research, with a focus on Alzheimer’s disease and human quantitative traits.

• Bachelor's Degree in Business Administration and Cellular & Molecular Biology from the University of Michigan
• Doctor of Medicine (MD) from the University of Florida
• PhD in Genetics from Harvard University

Research Interests center on understanding how genetic and epigenetic factors alter gene expression in Alzheimer’s disease, while his earlier work explored genetic determinants of human traits like height and puberty timing. His Google Scholar publications span Alzheimer’s genetics, autoimmune disease variants, T cell regulatory networks, and genetic testing disparities, reflecting his interdisciplinary approach.

Scientific Recognition includes the prestigious Clark Scholar fellowship. His clinical training at the Penn Memory Center and research in Dr. Jennifer Phillips-Cremins' Genetics Lab highlight his dual commitment to patient care and basic science. Though not explicitly listed, his work on disease-modifying therapies and hematopoiesis suggests grant support for translational research.
