Skip to main content Meet the P.I. Li Liu, Ph.D. Associate Professor Email Faculty Profile Dr. Liu obtained her Ph.D. in Microbiology from Nankai University in China and received initial postdoctoral training at the Max-Planck Chemical and Ecology Institute in Germany as well as at the University of …

Kitamura Lab's research aims to provide a biophysically-based mechanistic understanding of the neural process for learning and memory in the mouse brain.

The goal of our research is to identify key immune checkpoints of gastrointestinal disorders that could be targeted for therapeutic intervention and drug development.

Children with in-born errors of immunity are prone to life-threatening viral, bacterial, and fungal infections. We study the causes of their immune system problems, combining clinical insights and mouse models genocopying the various mutations. This work includes a profiling of immune responses to infections (e.g., COVID-19) in normal healthy individuals along with different patient populations (e.g. 22q11.2 deletion syndrome).

Our research endeavors are dedicated to pioneering the development of virtual reality simulators tailored for surgical training, harnessing the power of cutting-edge technologies such as artificial intelligence, automated systems, and advanced deep learning algorithms. Central to our work is the creation of AI-driven solutions for automated surgical video segmentation, precise identification of anatomical structures, surgical tool recognition, and comprehensive skills assessment.
