Dr. Qian Liu (Vivian) is an Assistant Professor at the Institute of Parasitology. Her research focuses on understanding the virus-host interactions during the infection and transmission of emerging zoonotic viruses (e.g. Nipah virus, norovirus and SARS-CoV-2). She uses the cutting-edge super-resolution microscopy to quantitatively map out the dynamics and spatial organizations of virus-host interactions (protein nanoclusters) in cells and virus particles. She teaches an undergraduate course 鈥淓ukaryotic Cells and Virus) (ANSC 400) and a graduate course 鈥淔luorescent Microscopy in Microbiology鈥.
