Gu Lab takes some time out of the lab to enjoy an evening at TopGolf!
Tyler Shannon (Research Associate) publishes for a second time in 2024 with “Early hippocampal high-amplitude rhythmic spikes predict post-traumatic epilepsy in mice” in Frontiers of Neuroscience. Check out the publication here!
Bin Gu receives OSU CBI/TDAI joint pilot award to study quantitative EEG biomarkers of post-traumatic epilepsy. This reward is in collaboration with Dr.Ping Zhang of CSE OSU). Congratulations Bin!
Congratulations to Bin Gu on his published commentary in Epilepsy Currents titled “Closing the Loop for Precise Seizure Control”
You can read Dr.Gu’s commentary here!
Tyler Shannon first author publishes “Genetic diversity drives extreme responses to traumatic brain injury and post-traumatic epilepsy” in the Journal of Experimental Neurology while also being granted the cover picture of the current volume!

Congratulations to Yoon-Jae as our lab celebrates his wedding on 20 January 2024!
The Gu Lab celebrates the end of the Fall 2023 semester and the start of the holiday break!
(Missing out undergraduate students Natalie, Noora, and Jaden)
Yoon-Jae Yi (NGP Doctoral Student and Graduate Research Fellow) has officially joined the Gu Lab.
Margo Shen (OSU D.V.M. Candidate 26′) presented a poster at the 2023 Neuroscience Research Institute (NRI) Annual Retreat.
The Gu Lab is hosting a team of 4 ECE seniors for their capstone program and received a $10,000 voucher from Chronic Brain Injury Discovery Theme for this effort.
Dr.Gu was selected as a winner of the 2023 Young Investigator Award by the American Epilepsy Society!
We proudly send off our first cohort of seniors (Class of 2023) who did an excellent job in the lab and are ready to take on the challenge of their next adventure!!! All of our seniors got multiple offers from their dream schools and they are:
Rina Dirickson (High School Volunteer Researcher from Berlin, Maryland) will head to Johns Hopkins University majoring in Neuroscience.
Sidharth Iyer (Undergraduate Volunteer Researcher from OSU Neuroscience major) is admitted to Medical School here at OSU.
Noah Levine (Undergraduate Volunteer Researcher from OSU ECE major) will continue pursuing his passion for engineering by joining the ECE Ph.D. program at OSU Graduate School.
Margo Shen (OSU D.V.M. Candidate 26′) and Tyler Shannon (Research Associate) presented posters for the 2023 Department of Neuroscience Research Day!
Noah Levine (OSU ECE 23′) presented his research and received the Poster Award at the 2022 Neuroscience Research Institute Annual Retreat
Joint lab outing in PINS with Dr. Kokiko-Cochran’s lab
A much-needed break from the lab for some tacos, beers, and duckpins!!!
Drs. Bin Gu and Hojjat Adeli recently published an article in the journal “Reviews in the Neurosciences” titled “Toward automated prediction of sudden unexpected death in epilepsy”
You can access the insert here!
Check out commentary on some of Bin Gu’s work in this article titled “New inroads into the brain circuits and network dynamics behind sudden unexpected death in epilepsy” by Alfredo Gonzalez-Sulser
Check out the above article here!
Check out Bin Gu’s Commentary on Dravet syndrome gene therapy that was recently published!
Check it out here!
Gu lab published in the Oxford University Press under Brain Communications!
This article titled “Ictal neural oscillatory alterations precede sudden unexpected death in epilepsy” can be accessed here!
The Department of Defense Congressionally Directed Medical Research Program has provided $755,250 in funding to the Gu lab from September 2022 through September 2025.
This grant will be used to further the collaborative work of Dr. Gu and Dr. Olga N. Kokiko-Cochran (Department of Neuroscience, OSU) defining the genetic basis and pathologic network of post-traumatic epilepsy using Collaborative Cross mice. The lab will use this money to combine systems genetics, behavior, electrophysiology, and histology to identify novel models of post-traumatic epilepsy, and the genetic basis of PTE.

Bin Gu receives the 2021 Grass Foundation Young Investigator Award
Department of Neuroscience faculty, Dr. Bin Gu has been chosen as the winner of the 2021 Grass Foundation Young Investigator Award. This award recognizes and honors eight outstanding young investigators conducting research in basic or clinical neuroscience related to epilepsy. His abstract, “Collaborative Cross Mouse Population Reveals Novel Genetic Linkage of Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy” was selected from over 1,300 submissions for this honor!
Way to go, Dr. Gu!
