Weiguo Cui

Weiguo Cui, PhD, is an Associate Professor in the Department of Microbiology & Immunology at the Medical College of Wisconsin and an Associate Investigator at the Versiti Blood Research Institute. His research focuses on understanding how T cell signaling pathways regulate effector and memory T cell differentiation during infections.

Education: 2004, Tianjin Medical University, China (Medical Science).

Research Interests: Dr. Cui's lab investigates the molecular mechanisms governing T cell fate decisions, particularly the roles of TCR and cytokine signaling via JAK-STAT pathways (e.g., STAT4 and STAT3) in promoting terminal effector versus memory cell differentiation. Key areas include signal integration from microenvironments, cellular niche influences, and functional maturation of T cells in viral/bacterial immunity.

Labs/Teams: His work is conducted at the Versiti Blood Research Institute, with a focus on translational immunology and T cell biology.
