Jinyu Liu | Drug Discovery and Development | Best Researcher Award
School of Public Health Jilin University | China
Mr. Jinyu Liu is a distinguished scholar in the fields of stem cell biology, regenerative medicine, toxicology, tissue engineering, and tumor pathobiology. He began his academic journey at the N. Bethune University of Medical Sciences, where he successfully completed his MD, followed by a Master’s degree in Toxicology and a Ph.D. in Biochemistry at the Institute of Regenerative Medicine. Building on this strong academic foundation, he embarked on an extensive research and teaching career across several leading institutions globally.Mr. Liu’s professional path includes serving as an Environmental Protection Engineer at the Songliao Water Conservancy Agency before moving into academic research and teaching. He held research positions at Zurich University Hospital in Switzerland, where he contributed significantly to studies in dermatology and regenerative medicine, followed by a research faculty position at the State University of New York at Buffalo in the Department of Biological and Chemical Engineering. Returning to China, he joined Jilin University, holding roles such as Vice Chair of the Department of Pathobiology, Chair of the Department of Toxicology, and later Professor at the School of Public Health, where he continues to teach and mentor future scientists.Throughout his career, Mr. Liu has contributed extensively to scientific literature with publications spanning diverse research areas. His works include studies on PBX1 attenuating MeHg-induced SH-SY5Y cell apoptosis, AT-PBX1 fusion protein alleviating LPS-induced acute lung injury, and viral hijacking of host DDX60 promoting Crimean-Congo hemorrhagic fever virus replication. He has explored type 3 diabetes and metabolic reprogramming of brain neurons, neurotoxic β-amyloid oligomers causing mitochondrial dysfunction in neurons, and research on the development and regeneration of hair follicles. His studies have also examined circadian clock regulation in hair follicle cycles, the role of PBX1 in mammalian kidneys, oxidative stress modulation in mesenchymal stem cells, and CRISPR-Cas12a-based detection of monkeypox virus.
