Liu, Qian (Vivian)
Assistant Professor
Dr Liu focuses on the interaction between pathogens and their host, specifically their effects on membrane bound organelles. Using super-resolution microscopy, she aims to understand the details of protein-protein interactions, the mechansisms involved and develop novel drug targets to treat disease

Long, Thavy
Assistant Professor
Different aspects of Dr Long’s research will contribute not only to better understand the biology of schistosomes and the complex parasite-host interplay, but also assist the search for novel therapeutic targets
