معرفی
Gerard Wong is a Professor at the Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science, University of California Los Angeles, with cross-appointments in Chemistry and Biochemistry, CA NanoSystems, and MIMG. His research bridges Bioengineering, Nanotechnology, and Microbiology.
Research Interests:
- Explores surface sensing and biofilm formation in Pseudomonas aeruginosa and Vibrio cholerae
- Investigates antimicrobial peptides and their membrane remodeling mechanisms
- Develops machine learning tools for peptide design and nanoscale biophysics
Publication Trends: Recent work focuses on high-speed imaging of biofilm dynamics, viral peptide mimicry, and computational modeling of multicellular behavior. Key subfields include mitochondrial fission, nanoparticle interactions, and autoimmune triggers in bacterial infections.
Labs & Collaborations: Affiliated with the CA NanoSystems Institute and MIMG departments, Wong collaborates across UCLA and with institutions like UCSD, UCSF, and UC Davis. His lab integrates experimental biophysics with computational microbiology.
