Xiaowen Liu is a professor and algorithmic biologist with 12+ years of experience developing computational methods for mass spectrometry-based top-down proteomics. He leads a lab that created widely used software tools—TopFD, TopPIC, and TopMG—that accelerate proteoform identification, quantitation, and database annotation for disease biomarker discovery and protein function studies. Trained in computer science (PhD, City University of Hong Kong) and with a background spanning industry IT roles to postdoctoral work at UC San Diego and other institutions, he bridges rigorous algorithm design with practical proteomics pipelines. Based in New Orleans, he combines deep algorithmic expertise with a track record of community impact through tools that have become standards in top-down mass spectrometry analysis.
