Senior🎓
Top SchoolHongbo Liu is an Assistant Professor at the University of Rochester who leads the HBLiu Lab studying the functional genome in aging and age-related diseases, bringing 13+ years of research experience and over 15 years of technical expertise in bioinformatics, epigenomics, population genetics, and single-cell omics. He has authored 60+ publications including more than 20 papers in top-tier journals such as Nature Genetics, developed over ten widely used bioinformatics tools, and maintains an active reviewer and editorial presence across leading genomics journals. His work spans large-scale epigenomic profiling (WGBS, EPIC arrays, ChIP-seq, ATAC-seq), GWAS and QTL analyses, Mendelian randomization, and single-cell and spatial multi-omics, allowing him to bridge population-level signals with cellular mechanisms of aging. Notably, he transitioned from international academic roles to a US faculty position while sustaining high-impact tool development and cross-disciplinary collaborations, reflecting both translational ambition and computational depth.
