Event Date
Guangshuo Ou is a Professor and the Associate Dean at the School of Life Sciences, Tsinghua University, Beijing, China. The Ou laboratory studies the molecular and cellular regulations of neural development and has recently focused on how sensory neurons build up cilia. Guangshuo received his Ph.D. in Cell and Developmental Biology working on intraflagellar transport motor proteins under the guidance of Dr. Jon Scholey at the University of California, Davis (2006). Afterward, Guangshuo was a Damon Runyon Postdoctoral Fellow with Dr. Ron Vale at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF, 2007~2011) and discovered a novel type of asymmetric cell division from C. elegans neuroblasts. Guangshuo started his first independent position at the Institute of Biophysics, Chinese Academy of Science, in February 2011. The Ou lab was relocated to Tsinghua University in August 2013. The Chinese National Science Foundation awarded Guangshuo the National Outstanding Young Scholarship in 2016.
Hyperactive Protein Responses and Functional Residuomics
This seminar explores how cells manage hyperactive proteins that threaten cilia function through RNA editing, intercellular protein disposal, and other quality control mechanisms. By identifying key molecular "hotspots," our research helps us understand how diseases develop at the smallest protein building blocks and opens the door to new treatment strategies.

About the Series:
The Tracy and Ruth Storer Lectureship in the Life Sciences is the most prestigious of the endowed seminars at UC Davis. Established in 1960, the Storer Endowment makes it is possible to invite distinguished biological scientists to campus to present two lectures and meet with faculty members and graduate students in their field of interest. The series is presented by the UC Davis College of Biological Sciences.
