Prof. Dr. Liu graduated from University of Science and Technology of China (1999). He obtained the Ph.D. degree from Columbia University (2004), followed by the post-doctorial research work at Scripps Research Institute (2004-2007). He has joined Tsinghua University since 2007, employed as a professor in the Chemistry Department. His research interest is synthetic bioorganic chemistry with two directions: 1. chemical synthesis and modification of proteins; 2. catalytic synthesis of bioactive small molecules.
