Dr. Feng Liu was supervised by Professor Nannan Liu at Auburn university and received the Ph.D. degree in Entomology. After that, he continued his research training in vector biology under the mentorship of professor Ke Dong at Michigan State University, professor Laurence Zwiebel at Vanderbilt University, and professor Omar Akbari at University of California San Diego. By integrating multi-technique approaches, such as single sensillum recording, Xenopus expression system, two-electrode voltage clamp, Drosophila transgenic expression system, and CRISPR/Cas9-based gene editing, he uncovered the cellular and molecular basis of odorant reception in several disease vectors. Dr. Liu has published peer-reviewed articles in multidisciplinary research journals, such as Nature Communications, Cell Reports, PNAS, PNAS nexus and a wide variety of entomological journals, such as Insect Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Frontiers in Physiology. Dr. Liu’s work has been supported by National Institute of Health (USA) and NSF (China).
