Summary
Youzhong Liu is an analytical scientist with a decade of experience blending wet lab and computational expertise in mass spectrometry-driven metabolomics, oligonucleotide characterization, and bioinformatics. He has architected microflow and nanoLC–Orbitrap platforms, developed reproducible extraction protocols for rare cell populations, and integrated flow cytometry with HILIC-LC-MS to push single-cell metabolomics. His work spans pharmaceutical support (including regulatory submissions and automated MS/MS spectral libraries), stable isotope tracing, and multimodal data integration (metabolomics with bulk and single-cell transcriptomics). Comfortable at the interface of instrumentation, databases and AI, he has built ML pipelines for structure prediction from challenging spectra and deployed web services for searchable spectral libraries. Based in Basel, he combines rigorous academic training (PhD) with hands-on platform engineering and a knack for cost- and throughput-optimizing vendor collaborations, often revealing metabolic insights hidden in low-abundance samples.
