Short Biography
Dr. Liu’s research is focused on identifying risk factors for and distributions of complex diseases with special emphasis on understanding how our environment, genomes, and their interactions affect outcomes in diverse populations around the world (i.e., defined by sex, ethnicities, geopolitical regions, lifespan, and evolutionary forces). Employing state-of-the art multi-platforms and methodologies that typically cut across multiple domains and disciplines (e.g., nutrition, genetics, molecular biology, pathophysiology, statistics, and epidemiology), his lab conducts both observational and experimental studies to aid in causal inference.
