Speaker
Dr. Li‑Qun “Andrew” Gu, PhD, is a Professor of Biological and Biomedical Engineering in the Department of Chemical and Biomedical Engineering at the University of Missouri and an investigator with the Dalton Cardiovascular Research Center, where he leads an interdisciplinary laboratory at the interface of biomolecular engineering and nanobiotechnology. His research focuses on developing ultrasensitive, nanopore‑based single‑molecule technologies for rapid, label‑free detection of genetic, epigenetic, and proteomic biomarkers, with applications in disease diagnosis, personalized medicine, and high‑throughput molecular screening. Dr. Gu’s lab integrates smart polymers, microfluidics, and programmable nanopore biosensors to create robust diagnostic tools, including systems for non‑invasive cancer mutation detection and explorations into DNA‑based data storage and nucleic acid memory. Supported by NSF CAREER, NIH, and Coulter Translational Program awards, his work advances fundamental biosensing science while training the next generation of engineers and researchers.
