معرفی
Longhua Guo, Ph.D., serves as Assistant Professor in the Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology at the University of Michigan, where he leads innovative research on tissue aging reversal using planarian flatworms. His lab investigates how stem-cell abundance enables these organisms to regenerate body parts and reverse age-related deterioration including tissue atrophy and fertility loss.
Research focuses on isolating rejuvenation genes through advanced genetics, genomics, and stem-cell biology techniques. Key interests include cellular mechanisms of aging reversal, fertility restoration in aged organisms, and therapeutic applications for human age-related degeneration. The work bridges regenerative biology and gerontology to develop interventions for extending healthspan.
Scientific Awards
- Pew Biomedical Scholar (2024)
Dr. Guo's lab (guolabagingreg.com) actively pursues molecular targets for tissue rejuvenation. While specific grants aren't detailed in available sources, the 2024 Pew award provides significant research funding for his innovative approach to aging reversal. His work demonstrates how regeneration processes can repair aged tissues, offering novel pathways for combating human age-related decline.
