From St. Louis, the couple went to California for Liu’s oncology fellowship at Stanford and a hematology fellowship at Moffitt Hospital at the University of California, San Francisco (UCSF). \u00a0Liu practiced oncology and went on to become an internationally known researcher and expert in cancer biology, genomics, human genetics, molecular epidemiology and translational medicine who has authored more than 300 scientific papers and two books. His scientific research has focused on the functional genomics of human cancers, particularly breast cancer.<\/p>\n
Before joining The Jackson Laboratory in 2012, Liu was the founding executive director of the Genome Institute of Singapore, and he recently finished two terms as president of the international Human Genome Organization (HUGO).\u00a0 Liu\u2019s many honors including the Brinker International Award for basic science research in Breast Cancer and the Rosenthal Award from the American Association for Cancer Research.<\/p>\n
Liu and\u00a0Stevoe spoke about the research being conducted at The Jackson Laboratory, including possible links between genomes and cancer.\u00a0 Liu explained that one of the greatest advantages to their research is the possibility of understanding risk for disease.<\/p>\n
The Jackson Laboratory focuses on mammalian genetics research to advance human health. \u00a0Their mission is to discover precise genomic solutions for disease and empower the global biomedical community in the shared quest to improve human health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
Dr. Edison “Ed” Liu the president and CEO of The Jackson Laboratory visited the TideSmart Talk with Stevoe studio for an in-depth interview with host Steve Woods. Liu explained the research that The Jackson Laboratory conducts with genomes and the mapping of genomes to see and understand the predisposition of diseases in humans.
