Biography

Dr. Jiami Guo obtained a PhD degree from Kent State University in 2012. He completed his postdoctoral training under Dr. Eva Anton at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. In 2018, he became an assistant professor in the Department of Cell Biology & Anatomy at the University of Calgary. His primary research focuses on understanding the fundamental principles governing the construction of neural circuits and their implications in disease. Dr. Guo's lab currently investigates the role of primary cilia in signaling pathways that influence neural development and have crucial links to ciliopathies, conditions characterized by brain malformations and intellectual deficits. His multidisciplinary approach employs innovative techniques using ciliopathy mouse models to elucidate the mechanisms of primary cilia in neural circuit assembly and the cerebellum's role in higher-order brain functions, aiming to uncover the biological underpinnings of these processes and their impact on mental disorders.
