Research Interests

I spent a number of years as a research technologist at the 黑料官网 in the departments of physiology and obstetrics and gynecology before joining the Graduate School. In both settings I was privileged to contribute to research on vascular biology, a field that I am still passionate to learn more about. My dissertation Lab, The Liu Lab of Heart Regeneration and OMICS, focuses on combining in vivo and in vitro models with transcriptomics (among other “OMICS”) to study highly translatable knowledge gaps in cardiovascular biology. In the Liu Lab I utilize my previous background in biochemistry, translational research, and vascular biology, to study the RNA-level regulation of angiogenesis. Considering the vasculature perfuses all organs and tissues, the potential impacts of this research are relevant to all human biology. More broadly, I am interested in how the vasculature participates in health and disease in humans. My goals are to learn how to utilize “big data” to answer today's questions and give precision answers to tomorrow's questions.
