Biography
Dr. Li Liu is an Associate Professor of Radiology and a member of the Simmons Comprehensive Cancer Center at UT Southwestern Medical Center (UTSW). She also serves as faculty for graduate programs in Biomedical Engineering. With extensive support from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), the Department of Defense (DOD) breast, prostate, and kidney cancer initiatives, as well as the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT), Dr. Liu and her dedicated research team have made significant contributions in the field. Their primary focus lies in the development of reporter genes and gene reporters for multimodality imaging in preclinical cellular and molecular studies, with a specific emphasis on small animal models of breast, prostate, brain, and lung cancers. Notably, recent advancements include dynamic bioluminescent imaging and multispectral optoacoustic tomography (MSOT) about vascular-disrupting agents and heme target agents in preclinical lung and kidney cancers. Dr. Liu's research stands at the forefront of preclinical innovations, paving the way for improved understanding and potential breakthroughs in cancer imaging and treatment.
