Dr. Zhenglong Gu received his Bachelors of Science degree in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology from Peking University in 1998, and his PhD degree in Ecology and Evolution in 2003 from University of Chicago. He conducted his postdoctoral research at Stanford Genome and Technology Center and became an Assistant and Associate Professor in the Division of Nutritional Sciences at Cornell University in 2006 and 2012 respectively.
Dr. Gu's laboratory uses a combination of computational and experimental approaches to understand the structure of metabolic networks and how these have been shaped over evolutionary time by selective pressures, such as those imposed by nutrient constraints, in model organisms and human.
