Research interests
Dr. Gang (Greg) Ning obtained his medical degree from China Medical University and a doctoral degree in Cell Biology and Anatomy from Kyoto University.
As a postdoctoral fellow with Arvid Maunsbach in the Department of Cell Biology, University of Aarhus, Denmark, he studied ultrastructural characteristics of Na, K-ATPase and immunolocalized its oligopeptide epitopes in membrane-bound form. During his second postdoctoral training in the Department of Cell Biology and Anatomy, the Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine, he used microscopy to study transcytosis of protein molecules in MDCK cells.
Before joining Penn State where he is director of the Electron Microscopy Facility at University Park, he was the Director of the Electron Microscopy Facility at the Medical College of Wisconsin, where he was engaged in multiple collaboration projects (using TEM) and performed three-year diagnostic electron microscopy.
His research interests are in innovation and application of new electron microscopy methods, immunogold electron microscopy, high resolution electron microscopy, functional ultrastructure of nervous and renal tissue, and other aspects of electron microscopy.
