Cong Christine Guo, Ph.D.

Systems Neuroscientist

Neuroimaging Laboratory for Ageing and Emotion

Christine is currently on the way to Brisbane, Australia, to continue her research at Queensland Institute of Medical Research. Her research team will take an integrative approach to understand psychiatric and neurological disorders, including anxiety disorder, bipolar disorder, Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia. She believes that we need combined efforts across disciplines to tackle these difficult problems, and hope to facilitate multidisciplinary conversations and collaborations.

Christine has a diverse scientific background, from molecular biology and genetics to electrophysiology and systems neuroscience and, most recently, modern neuroimaging techniques. She finished her postdoctoral training with Dr. William Seeley, at the Memory and Aging Center, University of Carlifornia, San Francisco, where she employed modern neuroimaging, neuropsychology and physiology techniques to map the specific neural networks and regions targeted early in neurodegenerative diseases. She received a B.Sc in Biological Sciences from Peking University and a Ph.D. in Neuroscience from Stanford Neuroscience Program at the Stanford University School of Medicine.
