Miao Gui Laboratory

Huge congrats to LIU Qi for his new paper entitled “In situ cryo-electron tomography reveals the progressive biogenesis of basal bodies and cilia in mouse ependymal cells” being published in Nat Commun. This is a wonderful collabration with Qiang and Xueliang. Also super excited that LIU Qi got the Chinese postdoctoral fund — his first … Read more

LI Bo left the Gui lab to resume his traditional Chinese medicine career. As the first lab member, Bo has made a great contribution to the lab including lab management and experiments. We wish him all the best in his new adventure.

During the week of Feb 17th, Miao was invited to give a talk titled “Cilia diversity from ultrastructure” at 2025 GRC Cilia, Mucus and Mucociliary Interactions in Pomona, California. It’s really great to meet old friends and make new friends. Interestingly, although I have been in touch with many of them, this is the first … Read more

On September 30th, our lab went for a BOWLING afternoon (as well as other wonderful entertainments) to welcome the beautiful autumn and to celebrate the National Day.

On July 11th, Miao went to Shanghai to attend the ceremony of MIT TR35 China and gave a speech. Surprisely, Qian Wang, a close friend also won this prize and I did not know until I saw Lihong in the ceremony lol. https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/oDZa9i7YT3g1JucgPoSyCg https://tr35.mittrchina.com/annual-winner?title=2023 https://mp.weixin.qq.com/s/Wq0AvgZa-JGTxrEYBmqv5A

Dongqin and Yejun have joined our lab recently. Our team is growing!

The Science paper is a collaboration with Pleasantine Mill in which we contributed to confirm the tubulin isotopes in cilia by high-resolution cryo-EM and to map the mutations in the structure. doi: 10.1126/science.adf5489 The other work is a collaboration with Jianping Wu (the second time) that was published in Nat Struct Mol Biol. doi: 10.1038/s41594-024-01287-6

On May 14th, our lab went for a 10KM hiking around the West Lake before the summer. Look at the smiling faces!

To celebrate the upcoming Chinese New Year, the Gui lab went out for a dinner on Jan 30th. The barbecue was amazing! Thank everyone for the hard work in 2023 and we can’t wait to see what we will achieve in 2024, the year of Dragon.

Two postdocs Qi Liu and Yuqi Liu have joined Gui lab. Looking forward to the uncoming great science! Huang has left our lab. Best wishes to him.
