Researcher

Guanyong Ou, a PhD in Biology, focuses his research on surveillance and early-warning strategies for emerging infectious diseases and the mechanisms of pathogen-host interaction. He applies multi-omics approaches—including single-cell transcriptomics and other omics profiling—to characterize immune microenvironment dynamics during viral infection and to identify host-pathogen interaction targets. In parallel, he combines wastewater surveillance, metaviromic sequencing, and bioinformatic modeling to monitor viral dynamics at the population level. His current research interest focuses on wastewater-based epidemiology for the detection of unknown or unidentified pathogens (Disease X), aiming to build early-warning models capable of identifying deviations from baseline wastewater viral signals. He has co-authored nearly 30 peer-reviewed papers, including 20 as first/corresponding author.
