管坤良，西湖大学讲席教授。本科毕业于杭州大学，博士学位取得于Purdue大学并在那里从事博士后研究。1992至2007年在Michigan大学工作，从助理教授,副教授, 正教授,到Halvor Christensen教授。2007-2023年为University of California San Diego大学教授，美国生物化学和分子生物学会青年研究员奖，MacArthur Fellow， AAAS fellow。管坤良的研究工作主要在细胞信号转导, 细胞生长,器官大小的控制,和肿瘤发生。他在MAP kinase, mTOR, 和Hippo这几个领域都做出了开创性的工作，已经发表三百多篇文章，是分子生物学和遗传学领域里高引用研究者。 

Kun-Liang Guan, chair professor at Westlake University. He received his BS (1982) from Hangzhou University and PhD (1989) from Purdue University. Dr. Guan was a faculty at the University of Michigan between 1992-2007 and at the University of California San Diego between 2007-2023. He was awarded the MacArthur Fellowship (1998), the American Society of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Young Investigator Award (1999), and AAAS Fellow (2011). His research focuses on cellular signaling in cell growth, organ size control, and cancer. Dr. Guan’s group has made key contributions to MAP Kinase, mTOR, and Hippo signaling pathways. Dr. Guan has published over 300 peer-reviewed papers and is one of the most highly cited researchers in Molecular Biology and Genetics.
