Dr. Hongchao Guo’s laboratory

Dr. Hongchao Guo’s laboratory is located in the Nora Eccles Harrison Cardiovascular Research and Training Institute (CVRTI) at the University of Utah. The research interests of the Guo lab focus on deciphering the genetic mechanisms underlying cardiovascular diseases and cardiac development. The Guo lab has an interdisciplinary research environment, including molecular and cellular biology, cardiac physiology, genetics, human stem cell biology, and bioinformatics. We employ cutting-edge technologies including CRISPR screening, single-cell sequencing, human 2D and 3D stem cell models, and animal studies to gain broader insights into the genetic understanding of normal and pathological heart function with the ultimate goal of identifying innovative treatments and diagnostics for patients.
