معرفی
Jun-tao Guo is a Professor and Chair of the Department of Bioinformatics and Genomics at the College of Computing and Informatics, University of North Carolina at Charlotte. With a Ph.D. in Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry from the University of Kentucky (2001) and an M.S. in Computer Science (2002), he bridges computational and biological sciences. Previously, he held research positions at the University of Georgia and Oak Ridge National Laboratory.
- Ph.D., Molecular and Cellular Biochemistry, University of Kentucky
- M.S., Computer Science, University of Kentucky
- B.S./M.S., Biochemistry, Nankai University
His research focuses on structural bioinformatics, particularly protein structure prediction, protein-nucleic acid interactions, and the impact of small insertions/deletions (indels) on protein function. He has pioneered GPU-accelerated methods for protein-DNA docking and developed tools like PDA for analyzing complex structures.
Jun-tao Guo's publications reveal trends in hydrogen bond-based interaction analysis, structural consequences of indels, and deep learning applications for binding prediction. His work spans molecular dynamics simulations, integrative energy functions, and comparative studies.
- Best Paper Award, IEEE International Conference on Bioinformatics and Biomedicine (2011)
He has mentored researchers contributing to studies on transcription factor interactions, cancer genomics, and protein structure prediction algorithms. His lab actively works on computational methods for analyzing macromolecular complexes.
