The research laboratory led by Yunlong Liu, PhD, develops innovative computational and high-throughput genomics approaches in studying gene regulation, with the focus on splicing regulation.
The Liu lab is located in the Center for Computational Biology. Specific research areas include developing computational algorithms and high-throughput genomics experimental approaches in studying functions of genetic variants in complex diseases, designing methodologies on next generation sequencing and single-cell analytics, and understanding regulatory mechanisms and translational impact of alternative splicing in a variety of disease systems, including cancer, diabetes, neurological diseases, and addiction.
