Associated Professor
UCLA Broad Stem Cell Research Center
Dr. Mingxia Gu is an Associate Professor at the Department of Anesthesiology & Perioperative Medicine, David Geffen School of Medicine and the Eli and Edythe Broad Center of Regenerative Medicine and Stem Cell Research at UCLA.
The Gu Lab harnesses cutting-edge stem cell and bioengineering technologies to reconstruct and decode tissue-specific vasculature across diverse organ systems. By exploring how vascular dysfunction—due to injury, aging, or disease—impacts surrounding cells and disrupts organ integrity, the lab aims to uncover fundamental mechanisms of tissue degeneration. Their ultimate mission is to unlock the regenerative potential of the vasculature to drive organ repair and functional recovery across a broad spectrum of diseases.
