Herui Liao is a bioinformatics-focused postdoctoral researcher at MIT with nine years of experience developing computational tools and algorithms for microbial genomics. Trained with a PhD in Bioinformatics & Computational Biology from City University of Hong Kong, he has worked on metagenome assembly, linked-read sequencing analyses, and predicting antimicrobial resistance from assembled bacterial genomes. His background spans industry and academia—from BGI and a genomics company producing a high-impact metagenomics paper to part-time research on strain-level AMR prediction—bridging practical pipeline engineering with method development. Based in Cambridge, MA, he combines hands-on software engineering with domain expertise in microbiome and microbial computational biology, often focusing on translating complex sequencing data into reproducible analysis tools.
