Biography

Li-Qun Gu, an Associate Professor of Bioengineering at the University of Missouri, is leading an interdisciplinary laboratory that has a long term vision: integrating biomolecular engineering with nanobiotechnology to explore life science problems and to develop sophisticated molecular diagnostic tools for personalized medicine. He received the NSF CAREER award the NIH grant to develop ultrasensitive single-molecule technology for disease biomarker detection. He has published over 40 peer-reviewed papers in high tier journals including Nature, Nature Nanotechnology, Science and PNAS. The nanopore-nanosensor he developed can detect circulating microRNAs in cancer patient plasma, offering a non-invasive approach to screening and disease diagnose.

Research Interest

Tracking cellular components, probing biochemical reaction, investigating bio-transportation, protein-ligand recognition, special properties of designed biopolymers, detecting pharmaceuticals and pathogen traces. The Nanopore-based single molecule detection could also play important role in proteomics and genomics.
