Jie Liu, Ph.D. candidate

B.S. in Life Sciences, Sun Yat-Sen University.
Interested in bioinformatics, statistics, computational science and beyond. Curious about all questions concerning development and self-organization, from evolution to transcriptional network.
To question, to observe, to model, to quantitate, and to validate.
A coffee lover and night owl so you can hardly find me in lab in the morning.
