Dr. Liang received Ph.D. training from the Quantitative and Computational Biology program (home department, Chemistry) at Princeton University, which provides graduate education in the interface of biology, the physical sciences, and computational science. His PhD thesis is about RNA informatics on translation termination and alternative splicing. As a postdoctoral researcher, Dr. Liang completed three years of research on computational and evolutionary genomics at the University of Chicago, where his research was about microRNA regulation and gene duplication. Currently, Dr. Liang's research interests include development of bioinformatics tools for better analyzing cancer genomic data, the pan-cancer genomic analysis, RNA editing, and the evolutionary process of cancer cells.
