Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Y. Lucy Liu's research focuses on the molecular mechanisms underlying inherited bone marrow failure syndromes and leukemias. Her work has investigated the role of nemo-like kinase activation in Diamond-Blackfan anemia, specifically its suppression of erythropoiesis through interference with mitochondrial biogenesis. Liu has also explored the inflammatory pathways and bone marrow microenvironment in inherited bone marrow failure syndromes. In the area of juvenile myelomonocytic leukemia (JMML), her research includes the development of novel mouse models, such as a humanized loss-of-function *NF1* model, and the epigenetic profiling of PTPN11 mutant JMML hematopoietic stem and progenitor cells. Her studies have also examined the sensitivity of JMML stem cells to NK cell-mediated lysis and identified potential targetable antigens. Liu has published 28 papers with 558 citations and an h-index of 8. She collaborates with Peter D. Emanuel at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, with whom she shares 2 publications.
