Dr. Kuo is a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy at the College of Medicine, National Cheng Kung University, Tainan, Taiwan (Republic of China, ROC). He also serves as the Director of the Institute of Basic Medical Sciences within the same college and is the President of the Association of Anatomists of the ROC.

 

Dr. Kuo's lab primarily utilizes animal models to investigate the underlying mechanisms of Alzheimer’s disease and depression, aiming to better understand their pathogenesis and identify potential therapeutic targets. In addition to behavioral and molecular studies in these models, his lab employs a wide range of advanced techniques to examine the structure and function of the central nervous system. These methods include chemogenetics, immunohistochemistry, electrophysiology, imaging technologies, and biochemical analyses, allowing for a comprehensive exploration of neuronal function, neuroinflammation, and neurodegenerative processes.
