Lihe Liu

I am currently a postdoctoral researcher in the Department of Translational Molecular Pathology at MD Anderson Cancer Center, advised by Dr. Lulu Shang and Dr. Yinyin Yuan. Previously, I obtained my Ph.D. in Animal Sciences (Computational Biology track) and M.S. in Computer Sciences from UW-Madison, advised by with Dr. Francisco Peñagaricano.

During my graduate studies, I used bioinformatics and computational approaches to characterize the impact of maternal dietary methionine on the offspring transcriptome and epigenome in cows, yielding insights into fetal programming in bovine genome. My current research focuses on developing scalable and interpretable learning models for computational pathology and spatial/single-cell genomics, aiming to elucidate human disease mechanisms across diverse biological systems and drive improvements in patient care.
