Dr Gu is currently appointed as a Full Professor at Institute for Stem Cell and Regeneration (ISCR) | Institute of Zoology (IOZ), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS) and group leader of Bioinspired Engineering. He has interdisciplinary training in materials chemistry and stem cells. His first doctoral career (2009-2013) is mainly engaged in research on stem cells at Northeast Agricultural University and Chinese Academy of Sciences. He completed a second PhD (2013-2017) in Chemistry at University of Wollongong (UOW) followed by being appointed as a Principal Investigator at IOZ, CAS and establishing his lab, Bioinspired Engineering. He became Full Professor at IOZ, CAS at the end of 2019. Professor Gu has developed novel biomaterials and used bioprinting for advanced human stem cell culture and 3D tissue engineering and reported the first examples of generation human tissues by 3D bioprinting human neural and pluripotent stem cells (Gu et al, 2016 and 2017, Advanced Healthcare Materials). Professor Gu has previously published has 22 first-author or corresponding author peer-reviewed journal articles, including Angew. Chem. Int. Ed., Advanced Healthcare Materials, National Science Reviews, Advanced Theraputics and Stem Cell Reports etc., mostly on bioprinting, biofabrication, biomaterials and stem cell engineering over the past 5 years. Besides, Gu has been co-author of 3 book chapters and co-inventor on three patents.
