Assistant Professor
University of California, Davis
Dr. Liu has extensive expertise in clinical oncology and prostate cancer research. He has identified novel resistant mechanisms and developed innovative pharmaceutical approaches to treat advanced prostate cancer patients. He has also generated a number of unique tools that have allowed him to elucidate how resistance emerges in late stage prostate cancer.
Dr. Liu's long-term research interest is to bridge the basic and clinical research that ultimately yields novel translational efforts in urologic oncology. His ideas and research will yield new paradigms for protein post translational modification and drug resistance in cancer cells, advance the understanding of cancer biology and provide opportunities for innovative cancer therapeutics.
Dr. Liu's current research program focuses on understanding the mechanisms of therapy resistance and progression in lethal prostate cancer with specialized focus on drug development for the treatment of prostate cancer. Dr. Liu has interests in nuclear receptors, chaperone protein modification, ubiquitin proteasome regulation, steroid hormone biosynthesis and metabolism, clinical translational research and tumor immunology.
