Research Interests:
 Analytical Chemistry: Research in the Liu group is focused on the development of novel analytical methods for sensitive and selective bioassays. A wide range of instrumental techniques including bioluminescence, CE, HPLC, GC-MS/MS, CE-MS/MS, and HPLC-MS/MS are involved. In a particular project funded by National institutes of Health, the group is developing chiral separations based on microchip electrophoresis with mass spectrometric detection. These methods are developed for chiral single cell analysis as applied in metabolic studies of biomedically interesting compounds such as neurotransmitters, environmental toxins, and pharmaceutical chemicals.
