Feng Liu
Feng Liu received his Ph.D. degree from the School of Life Science and Technology, University of Electronic Science and Technology of China and went on to work in the Department of Radiology and Tianjin Key Laboratory of Functional Imaging, Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, China. Now he is an associate professor and his current research interests include Brain and Cognition, Magnetic Resonance Imaging, Imaging Genetic and Multivariate Pattern Analysis.
Current research focuses on investigating the impact of the environmental factors (e.g., green space, PM 2.5, etc) on human brain measured by magnetic resonance imaging.

Qi Liu
Research Assistant Professor of Biomedical Informatics, Vanderbilt University
Dongliang Liu
Dr. Dongliang Liu is a Postdoctoral Associate in the Department of Surgery at the Baylor College of Medicine. His research interests include: Cancer therapy, especially for pancreatic cancer immunotherapy; Chimeric virus-like particles (VLP) vaccine, especially for cancer vaccines; Novel antibiotics development including antimicrobial peptides; Epitomics and multi-epitope peptide vaccine development for pathogenic viruses.
Tao Liu
I am an Assistant professor at Department of Biochemistry, State University of New York at Buffalo. I have expertise and extensive experience with developing and applying computational approaches for transcriptional and epigenetics regulation studies. As a postdoctoral fellow at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, I developed widely used open-source algorithms, including MACS (cited over 3,200 times according to Google Scholar) to analyze ChIP-seq data, and an integrative platform for comprehensive analyses on cis-regulatory elements (http://cistrome.org/ap), which has over 3,000 users. I was a member of the Data Analysis Center and Analysis Working Group of the ENCODE and modENCODE consortium and was involved in deciphering functional elements through analyzing high-throughput profiles of chromatin factors and in comparing chromatin features between fly, worm and human genome. I have actively participated in the development of ChIP-seq guidelines for the broad scientific communities. My laboratory at University at Buffalo is focused on studying transcriptional and epigenetic regulatory mechanisms, and the influence of the genetic variations at regulatory elements.
Jingyu Liu
Associate Professor at the Mind Research Network; Adjunct Assistant Professor at the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering, University of New Mexico. Our MRN lab focuses on developing and optimizing methods and software for quantitative analysis of structure and function in medical images with particular focus on the study of psychiatric illness. We work with many types of data, including functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), diffusion tensor imaging (DTI), electroencephalography (EEG), structural imaging and genetic data.

Stephen J Livesley
Stephen investigates soil-plant-atmosphere interactions in natural and managed ecosystems. Stephen studied in the UK gaining a PhD in Soil Science and Agroforestry from The University of Reading.
At the University of Melbourne, Stephen has led research to quantify the carbon and greenhouse gas implications of landscape management and land-use change events in forest, woodlands and now the urban landscape. Stephen’s urban ecosystem research and teaching interests relate to the role of trees, soil and other vegetation systems in providing environmental and social benefits, such as microclimate cooling, energy saving, carbon sequestration, biodiversity habitat and improved nutrient / water cycling.

Nicholas J Loman
Nick works as an Independent Research Fellow in the Institute for Microbiology and Infection at the University of Birmingham, sponsored by an MRC Fellowship in Biomedical Informatics. His research explores the use of cutting-edge genomics and metagenomics approaches to the diagnosis, treatment and surveillance of infectious disease. Nick has so far used high-throughput sequencing to investigate outbreaks of important pathogens such as Pseudomonas aeruginosa,Acinetobacter baumannii and Shiga-toxin producing Escherichia coli. His current work focuses on the application of novel sequencing technologies such as the Oxford Nanopore for genome diagnosis and epidemiology of important pathogens, including most recently real-time surveillance of the Ebola outbreak in West Africa. A more general aim is to develop bioinformatics tools to aid the interpretation of genome and metagenome-scale data in routine clinical practice in collaboration.
