Research Summary

Dr. Liu mainly focuses on the cellular and molecular mechanisms of innate host defense in tumorigenesis and pathogen defense. His previous work has revealed several new mechanisms for regulating the innate immunity in macrophages and MDSC, including illuminating the critical role of E3 ligase FBXW7 in inflammatory response and production of type I interferon.
