Research area:

Dr. Liu was the first to discover functional microRNAs in the gut lumen and feces of mouse and human. He is interested in the host-microbe interactions, particularly, how the host evolves with the symbionts in/on it, how the symbionts were specifically selected for specific hosts, and the symbiosis’ role in host physiology and pathology in the autoimmune and neurodegenerative diseases such as multiple sclerosis and Alzheimer’s disease. He is also interested in the functions of non-coding RNAs found in the gut during health and diseases. He is exploring diagnostic and therapeutic strategies using his findings in microbiome and microRNA for diseases like multiple sclerosis.
