🎓Academic and Professional Background

Chungang LIU is currently an Investigator at Chongqing Medical University. He earned his Ph.D. from the School of Medicine at Zhejiang University, focusing on cancer stem cells and cell division. His postdoctoral training was at the IMCB of A*STAR, where he identified and characterized several proteins involved in protein homeostasis through ubiquitination modification, including the SOX9 and YTHDF1 complexes. In 2019, he became an independent investigator at the Third Military Medical University and was appointed A*STAR IMCB Research Fellow. In January 2021, he moved his laboratory to the Second Affiliated Hospital, Chongqing Medical University.
