معرفی
Jiali Gao is an academic clinical fellow working at the Oxford Motor Neuron Disease Centre, affiliated with the University of Oxford. His research focuses on amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), leveraging techniques such as optogenetics and Mendelian randomization to study disease mechanisms and genetic risk factors.
- Education: MA (Cantab), MB BChir from the University of Cambridge.
Current projects include characterizing activity-related phenotypes in induced pluripotent stem cells with C9orf72 mutations and investigating ALS risk factors using genetic analyses. His work bridges clinical and genetic research, with a focus on biomarker development and neurodegenerative disease modeling.
His recent publications span topics such as C9orf72 and UNC13A gene interactions in ALS, lipid metabolism in neurodegenerative disease, and rare genetic conditions mimicking liver disorders. These studies highlight interdisciplinary approaches combining neurology, genetics, and epidemiology.
Jiali Gao contributes to collaborative research across multi-center studies, focusing on biomarkers like creatine kinase and neurofilament light chain. His work also explores drug-induced complications in multiple sclerosis patients and global genetic epidemiology of rare diseases.
Labs & Teams: Affiliated with the Oxford Motor Neuron Disease Centre, focusing on translational research from stem cells to population genetics.
