Dr. Yige Guo has more than 10 years of research experience in the life science field. He has made significant contributions to the mitosis field. Currently, he is studying the mechanism of mitosis and aneuploidy, and developing an assay to screen for drugs specifically targeting induced-aneuploidy cells. Recently, he applied the techniques in the mitosis research field to investigating lymphoma, and discovered novel drug mechanism with collaborators at Columbia University. In his Ph.D. thesis, Dr. Guo, for the first time, elaborated how BubR1, a crucial mitosis kinase auto-phosphorylate, and how this signal is sensed during cell division. Dr. Guo received his Ph.D. degree from Columbia University in 2013, and his bachelor’s degree in biological sciences from Peking University in 2007 with honor.
