Liu Lab

Dr. Liu’s research lab develops computational approaches for understanding the functions of the human genome and the genetic basis of human diseases. We recently have developed a knowledge graph GenomicKB to accumulate human-readable knowledge about the human genome. We have also developed a computational framework EPCOT which comprehensively predicts multiple genomic modalities, and allows computers to accumulate knowledge about the human genome. In addition, we have imputed high-resolution chromatin contact maps for GTEx donors with CAESAR.

Liu Lab currently has openings for graduate students and postdocs. Please reach out to Dr. Jie Liu via email if you are interested.
