Dr. Hua Liu conducts both basic and clinical research to explore the molecular mechanisms behind liver, kidney and gut diseases, aiming to identify biological markers for digestive system disorders. Dr. Liu’s basic research has been focused on reactive oxygen species (ROS) and the resulting tissue and organ damage (inflammation, apoptosis and subcellular changes), with an emphasis on understanding how ROS are generated and how cells defend against ROS-induced damage. In recent years, Dr. Liu has collaborated with multiple investigators on research projects related to metabolism, insulin sensitivity, and the role of the gut microbiome in the development of the immune system in newborns
