Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolDajiang Liu is a University Distinguished Professor and statistical geneticist with 11 years of research experience specializing in statistical genetics, functional genomics, and the genetic architecture of complex diseases. He develops widely used methods and tools—such as RAREMETAL and RVTESTS—for large-scale sequence-based association and meta-analysis, while also generating and analyzing high-throughput genotyping and sequencing datasets. At Penn State he leads AI and biomedical informatics efforts, directs graduate training in bioinformatics and genomics, and oversees departmental research strategy. His applied work on lipids, cardiovascular disease, addiction, and lupus both drives and is informed by novel methodological advances, including integrative interpretations of GWAS and investigations into X chromosome inactivation. Notably, his blend of software/tool development and hands-on dataset generation gives him a rare end-to-end perspective from method creation to biological discovery.
