Jason L. Guo, Ph.D. is an incoming Assistant Professor at Carnegie Mellon University, Department of Biomedical Engineering. He is currently an Instructor (K99 Fellow) at Stanford University with Dr. Michael Longaker. Jason’s postdoctoral research focuses on using spatial biology to map the tissue architecture of the lungs during scarring vs. regenerative trajectories.
Jason received his Ph.D. in Bioengineering with Dr. Antonios Mikos at Rice University, where he developed new methods for the spatial patterning of biomaterials using click chemistry and 3D printing.
In his long-term career, Jason aspires to answer systems-biological questions about lung health and disease using a constantly evolving suite of bioengineering tools.
