Chen, Guangbo (Bill), PhD
Assistant Professor
Guangbo (Bill) Chen, PhD joined the Medical College of Wisconsin in the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology as an Assistant Professor. He obtained his PhD in Molecular and Integrative Physiology from the University of Kansas, working with Dr. Rong Li at Stowers Institute for Medical Research. His seminal works on aneuploidy (published in Nature and Cell) earned him the Kaluza Prize of Excellence in Graduate Research from the American Society of Cell Biology, sponsored by Beckman Coulter. He then finished a Life Science Research Foundation fellowship (Sponsored by Eli Lilly) in Mark Davis’s lab at Stanford University. This fellowship allowed him to explore a new field: human immunology. He learned a novel system (spleen organoid) newly established in Davis lab and enabled it for high-throughput screening.
