Yang Liu, PhD

I’m highly interested in drug discovery and development, and with strong research and development experience in stem cell biology and cell and gene therapy for genetic diseases. One of my discoveries recently received FDA Orphan Drug Designation for the gene therapy strategy of a genetic blood disorder, Diamond-Blackfan anemia. I also discovered a small molecule for the treatment of Cystic Fibrosis relevant tendon regeneration, which has been patented. In total, I have published 25 research articles and given oral presentations at 10 more international conferences in the US, Europe and Asia.

​

​I obtained my PhD from the Department of Orthoepaedic and Traumatology, The Chinese University of Hong Kong under the direction of Prof. Gang Li. After graduation, I pursued postdoc training in Stefan Karlsoon Lab in Lund University, Sweden. I'm currently working as a research specialist in Roland Fiskesund and Joel Nordin labs at Karolinska Institutet, Sweden. 

​

During my free time, I enjoy traveling, reading and cooking.
