个人简介 Prof. GU Shen Linda (顾燊) obtained her bachelor’s degree with full scholarship at the Chinese University of Hong Kong (CHUK) and received her Ph.D. degree from the School of Biomedical Sciences (SBS) at CUHK. She then pursued postdoc training at Baylor College of Medicine (BCM) in the United States. Subsequently, she was selected into the highly competitive American Board of Medical Genetics and Genomic (ABMGG) fellowship program at BCM. Graduating from the three-year fellowship training, she was certified in both clinical molecular genetics and cytogenetics by ABMGG. In late 2019, she returned to SBS as an independent investigator. Her lab is interested in exploring the causes and clinical consequences of genetic diseases. She has published over 30 papers in high impact journals including PLoS Genetics, Human Molecular Genetics, Genome Research, Nucleic Acids Research and American Journal of Human Genetics (>1,300 citations as in June 2021, h-index 21, i10-index 26). She received several international awards, including the 13th International Congress of Human Genetics Travel Award, finalist and semi-finalist of ASHG / Charles J. Epstein Trainee Award for Excellence in Human Genetics Research, and three times Outstanding Research Award from the Association of Chinese Geneticists in America.
