OverviewAI-generated summary

Jessica Liu's research focuses on adolescent substance use, particularly e-cigarette use, and the factors influencing these behaviors. Her work has investigated the appeal of various tobacco products to youth, the reasons behind e-cigarette use among adolescents, and patterns of vaping, including dual-use with cannabis and combusted tobacco. Liu has also examined the prevalence and correlates of dual-vaping nicotine and cannabis among adolescents in specific regions. Her publications include analyses of youth-appealing features in e-cigarette advertising and the effectiveness of school-based prevention programs.

Beyond adolescent substance use, Liu's research interests extend to respiratory health in infants, as indicated by her publication on bronchopulmonary dysplasia and respiratory support practices for very low birth weight infants. Her scholarly output also includes work on the molecular biology of immune cells, specifically the co-expression of FOXP3 isoforms and their role in Treg-like cell function. Liu has authored or co-authored 119 publications with 1,348 citations and maintains an h-index of 18.
