Qiang Liu
Tianjin Medical University General Hospital
Qiang Liu, MD, PhD, is a professor of Neurology and VP of Research at Tianjin Medical University General Hospital, Tianjin, China. He is Director of Neurodegenerative Disease Laboratory and VP of Research at Tianjin Neurological Institute. Dr. Liu received his medical degree from Nanjing Medical University, Nanjing, China and his doctorate in neuroscience from Barrow Neurological Institute, Phoenix, U.S. His clinical and research interests are centered on multiple sclerosis and stroke. Recently, he identified the activation of bone marrow cellular lineages after acute brain injury (Sci Transl Med. 2021, Immunity. 2024), discovered the aberrant bone marrow myelopoiesis in patients with multiple sclerosis (Cell. 2022) and revealed innate immune effectors that impair cognition during brain aging (Nat Neurosci. 2021, Trends Neurosci. 2024). His ongoing projects aim to determine the safety and efficacy of immune therapies targeting bone marrow immunity to treat CNS inflammatory disorders (NCT05154734, NCT05369351, NCT05792462). He serves as a board member in Chinese Medical Doctor Association and Chinese Society for Immunology.
