Dr. Guo-Ping Zhou
Dr. Guo-Ping Zhou is currently a Senior Principal Investigator of Gordon Life Science
Institute. He is also an Adjunct Senior Research Fellow of several academic institutions.
Before receiving his Ph.D degree in Biophysics with Professor Frederic A. Troy from
University of California, Davis in 1996, Dr. Zhou received a B.S. degree and a M.S.
degree in Engineering from Shanghai Jiaotong University in 1981 and 1984, respectively.
From 1985 to 1989, as a visiting scholar, Dr. Zhou studied the nonlinear dynamics of
DNA in Professor Henry M Sobell¡¯s laboratory at University of Rochester, New York.
His postdoctoral training was with Professor Oleg Jardezky of Stanford University in
1996 on the 3D NMR structure and dynamics of the DNA-protein complex, and
Professor Alan Rigby of Harvard Medical School in 2004 on the project of the interaction
between cGMP-dependent protein kinase I¦Á and the myosin binding subunit.
From 2004 to 2007 Dr. Zhou determined the 3D structure and revealed the docking
mechanism of the coiled-coil proteins using residual dipolar coupling (RDC) with
Professor James J. Chou of Harvard Medical School.
In spring 2007, as a Visiting Professor, Dr. Zhou was invited to work with Professor
David S. Wishard in University of Alberta, Canada for the project of prion protein
research. After completing the project with University of Alberta in summer 2009,
Professor Zhou returned to USA and studied solid NMR with Professor Alexander
Navezorov of North Carolina State University.
In summer 2011, Professor Zhou accepted an invitation from Professor Kuo-Chen Chou,
the President of Gordon Life Science Institute, to join the institute as a Senior Principal
Investigator.
