Research summary
AI-generated

Sheng Liu conducts neuroscience research, with a notable focus on building single-cell atlases of the primate and human brain that combine gene expression (transcriptomics), cell shape (morphology), electrical activity (electrophysiology), and connectivity. Related work spans how neurons fire, brain injury and cognitive impairment (for example from radiation), and computational models linking gene activity to neuronal behavior. The publication record also includes many collaborative studies extending into cancer biology, vaccines, and other biomedical areas.
