Wei Guo is an Assistant Professor in Animal Dairy Science at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. He holds a PhD and his research primarily focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying diabetes and its cardiovascular complications. His work has identified the role of the splicing factor RNA binding motif 20 (RBM20) in the insulin signaling pathway, revealing its importance in regulating heart stiffness and muscle growth through hypertrophic signaling pathways. His research also explores the effects of maternal obesity on the origin and progression of cardiovascular disease in adult offspring, with support from the National Institutes of Health. Guo's findings contribute to the understanding of potential treatments for diabetic cardiomyopathy and the hormonal actions related to metabolic syndrome.
