Dr. Cui Hua Liu is a Professor and Principal investigator from the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. Her laboratory investigates the molecular mechanisms of pathogen-host interactions, with a specific focus on how protein ubiquitination regulates these processes. Her group has discovered multiple host factors and pathogen effectors that manipulate the ubiquitin system to control innate immune signaling and cellular functions during infection. These findings provide fundamental insights and specific targets for developing novel anti-infection therapies targeting the pathogen-host interface. She has published a series of research papers in prestigious journals including Science, Cell, Nature Immunology, etc.
