Liu named MI4 Pfizer Early Career Investigator Award Winner

Qian Liu, PhD, an Assistant Professor at McGill University’s Institute of Parasitology, received the award for her project, Single-molecule interactions between Nipah virus and the interferon-induced transmembrane proteins.

“This award will help me launch my research program rapidly and foster my interdisciplinary research. My research program aims to decipher the mechanisms of infection and immunity of deadly zoonotic viruses from a single-molecule perspective using cutting-edge super-resolution imaging technology,” said Prof. Liu.

With the help of the award, Prof. Liu hopes to understand virus-host interactions by mapping out the single molecule behaviours on a nanoscale.
