Southwest Minzu University | China

Qibing Gu, Ph.D., is an Assistant Professor at Southwest Minzu University specializing in preventive veterinary medicine with a strong research focus on bacterial antibiotic resistance, tolerance mechanisms, toxin–antitoxin regulation, and the molecular basis of toxin activity affecting transcription and protein synthesis. He completed his academic training in veterinary medicine at Southwest University followed by advanced doctoral research at Nanjing Agricultural University under the mentorship of Prof. Huochun Yao. His academic experience combines molecular biology teaching with intensive laboratory research centered on bacterial gene regulation and host–pathogen interactions. He possesses advanced skills in bacterial gene editing, protein biochemistry, enzymology, and molecular interaction studies, alongside expertise in protein purification, protein–DNA binding assays, enzymatic characterization, structural modeling, and protein–protein interaction systems. His research also extends to mammalian cell culture and animal infection models, supported by certifications such as licensed veterinary practitioner and CET-6. His work has produced impactful publications in PLOS Pathogens, Frontiers in Microbiology, BMC Veterinary Research, and other peer-reviewed journals, including contributions to studies on gene regulation, drug resistance, and bacterial virulence. His achievements are recognized through honors such as the Best Paper Award at the Yangtze River Delta Preventive Veterinary Medicine Doctor Forum. Overall, his research and teaching contributions highlight a growing leader in advanced microbiological and veterinary molecular research.
