Biography
Dr. Austin Guo, PhD, is currently an Assistant Professor of Pharmacology at New York Medical College. He received his B.S. in Biotechnology from St Cloud State University in Minnesota, USA and his PhD in Cancer Biology from Wayne State University in Michigan, USA. Dr. Guo completed two years of postdoctoral work at Wayne State University after his graduation and took a junior research staff position at Henry Ford Hospital from 2003-2007. He was then raised the rank to Assistant Scientist in 2007 and held that position until he joined the faculty in New York Medical College in 2011. Dr. Guo’s research focused on investigating the role of Cytochrome P450 derived eicosanoids, specifically 20-hydroxyeicosatetraenoic acid (20-HETE), in the regulation angiogenesis and cancer growth. Currently, Dr. Guo is trying to understand how 20-HETE system contributes to neovascularization via up-regulation of the human umbilical cord blood derived Endothelial progenitor Cells functions that are associated with angiogenesis. This work is supported by a Scientist Development Award grant from American Heart Association.
