Qian (Vivian) LiuLiu, Qian (Vivian)

Assistant Professor
Dr Liu focuses on the interaction between pathogens and their host, specifically their effects on membrane bound organelles. Using super-resolution microscopy, she aims to understand the details of protein-protein interactions, the mechansisms involved and develop novel drug targets to treat disease
