معرفی
Tingting Gu, PhD is an Assistant Professor at the University of Oklahoma’s School of Biological Sciences. Her research focuses on neuronal plasticity mechanisms and advanced light microscopy techniques. She obtained her PhD from the University of Oklahoma and is a skilled microscopist with expertise in Neuroscience, Developmental Biology, and Genetics.
Her work includes hormonal regulation studies of neuroendocrine cell plasticity and the development of protocols for whole-animal tissue clearing and light-sheet imaging. She co-led the acquisition of a Zeiss 780 inverted confocal microscope for the Samuel Roberts Noble Microscopy Laboratory (SRNML), enhancing imaging capabilities for OU researchers. Gu teaches the Advanced Light Microscopy course (BIOL/MBIO/PBIO 5394) and contributes to the SRNML’s educational and outreach initiatives.
Her research integrates molecular biology with advanced imaging technologies, emphasizing 3D/4D whole-system imaging applications across diverse tissues, including mouse brains, pig heart valves, and whole fish specimens. She collaborates on projects involving biomechanical tissue analysis and microscopy education.
