Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Lei Guo is an Assistant Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Guo's research program focuses on the development and application of advanced sensing platforms for the detection of biomarkers and environmental contaminants. This work has led to the creation of novel electrochemical and electrochemiluminescence immunosensors and aptasensors for the sensitive detection of non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) biomarkers and antigens, as well as metal ions like Fe3+ and Fe2+.

Further research extends to environmental applications, including the design of functionalized materials for wastewater purification. Guo has investigated materials such as Zr-MOF functionalized nanochannels and biomimetic ZrO2-modified seaweed residue for applications in fluorine and bacteria removal, and uranium extraction. The lab also explores the functionalization of cellulose-based materials for environmental remediation and sustainability.

Guo's work utilizes techniques such as tandem mass spectrometry and nanomaterials, including metal nanoparticles and metal-organic frameworks (MOFs). The group also investigates exosomes derived from pretreated mesenchymal stem cells for their role in promoting angiogenesis and facilitating diabetic wound healing. Guo has a publication record of 488 papers with 3,907 citations and an h-index of 35, and is recognized as a highly cited researcher.
