Jason Guo is a postdoctoral scholar who studies chronic fibrotic diseases using multi-omic technologies and matrix/cell network algorithms in the lab of Dr. Michael Longaker at Stanford University. He completed his PhD in the lab of Dr. Antonios Mikos at Rice University, where he developed click functionalized polymers, hydrogels, and 3D printable scaffolds for bone and cartilage repair.

Jason is pursuing an academic career, and is passionate about next-generation biomaterials that can recapitulate spatial biological networks and respond to patient-specific cues through “smart” responses such as dynamic physical adaptation.
