The Second Affiliated Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University

Jing-Da Qiao is an assistant professor at the Institute of Neuroscience at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University, China. He earned his bachelor's degree from the Guangzhou University of Chinese Medicine and his MPhil from Sun Yat-sen University. He was awarded the Chinese University PhD Fellowship, which supported his doctoral studies at the Chinese University of Hong Kong, where he focused on the olfactory memory of Drosophila. After completing his PhD, he joined the Institute of Neuroscience at the Second Affiliated Hospital of Guangzhou Medical University and has since developed expertise in neurogenetics.Dr. Qiao's current research interests include: The pathogenesis and treatment of neurogenetic disorders, focusing on the identification of novel disease-causing genes through trio-based genome-wide sequencing. These findings are validated using transgenic animal models, such as mice and Drosophila, to elucidate underlying pathogenic mechanisms.The mechanisms of learning and memory, with an emphasis on synaptic plasticity and cognitive processes. This research utilizes electrophysiology, live imaging, and behavioral assays to uncover how neural circuits contribute to memory formation and retrieval.
