Biography
Wenjun Liu received his DVM from Beijing Agricultural University in Beijing and Ph.D from the University of Florida in Gainesville, Florida. He had worked at China Agricultural University (1985-1989) and National Animal Disease Center of USDA (1988-1989), Howard Hughes Medical institute/Oklahoma Medical Research Foundation (1998-2001), and Genzyme Corporation (2001-2004). Now he is a professor and deputy director in CAS Key Laboratory of Pathogenic Microbiology of Immunology, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Science. He is also the director of Biosafety Level 3 Laboratory, Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Science. In his research area, Dr. Liu has published nearly 70 research articles and reviews.
Research Interest
His lab focuses on the molecular biology of viruses, the interactions of viruses with host cells, the pathogenesis of viral diseases, the post-translational modification of viral proteins, and mechanisms of host defense. The research works are designed to increase fundamental knowledge as well as to facilitate the development of new approaches to control of viral infection.
