Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Bailang Liu's research focuses on understanding molecular mechanisms relevant to disease and drug development. Liu has investigated structural features of SARS-CoV-2 proteases for potential enzyme inhibition and explored advancements in understanding the kappa opioid receptor for the development of opioid analgesics. This work involves analyzing protein-ligand interactions and receptor structures. Liu also applies machine learning techniques to challenges in drug discovery, including the prediction of ligand selectivity for cannabinoid receptors and the identification of inhibitors for the bile salt export pump. Collaborations include work with Tucker A. Patterson, Fan Dong, Ann Varghese, and Zoe Li, all at the National Center for Toxicological Research.
