Y. Lucy Liu, MD, PhD

Senior Research Scientist, Pediatrics - Hematology/Oncology

Bio

Dr. Liu had extensive trainings in human molecular genetics, tumor biology, and experimental therapeutics. She published more than 20 peer-reviewed manuscripts, including Nature Genetics, Blood, Leukemia, and Journal of Clinical Investigation (JCI). She was a co-investigator in several NIH grants in her previous Institutes. In 2019, Dr. Liu joined the Department of Pediatrics as a Senior Research Scientist. Dr. Liu is one of the world-known experts in research on a rare children leukemia, juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML). Her current research is focusing on the dysregulated developmental hematopoiesis in leukemia transformation and development of mouse models for Diamond-blackfan anemia (DBA).

Research Interests
Our research is focused on how the activities of hundreds or even thousands of genes (gene parties) are coordinated to achieve biological meaning. We have pioneered methods to predict, dissect, and control large-scale gene regulatory programs; these methods have provided insights into human development, cancer, and aging.

Christopher H. Contag

Professor of Pediatrics (Neonatology), Emeritus
Research Interests
We develop and use the tools of molecular imaging to understand oncogenesis, reveal patterns of cell migration in immunosurveillance, monitor gene expression, visualize stem cell biology, and assess the distribution of pathogens in living animal models of human biology and disease. Biology doesn't occur in "a vacuum" or on coated plates--it occurs in the living body and that's were we look for biological patterns and responses to insult.

Jack, Lulu and Sam Willson Professor, Professor of Radiation Oncology, Emeritus
Research Interests
During the last five years, we have identified several small molecules that kill VHL deficient renal cancer cells through a synthetic lethal screening approach. Another major interest of my laboratory is in identifying hypoxia-induced genes involved in invasion and metastases. We are also investigating how hypoxia regulates gene expression epigenetically.
