Professional Bio
Yan Liu, MD, is a Research Associate Professor of Medicine in the Division of Allergy, Pulmonary and Critical Care Medicine, Department of Medicine, at Vanderbilt University Medical Center. Following a research fellowship at Vanderbilt University, Dr. Liu worked under the mentorship of Distinguished Professor of Medicine, Dr. Jack Hawiger. The Hawiger lab findings focused on study of pathway-selective Nuclear Transport Modifier (NTMs) after designed and validated bi-functional NTMs, which is a combined anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering strategy and involves use of a new tool to test experimentally in cell-based and preclinical models of vascular inflammation. Dr. Liu’s efforts have explored the relative contribution of immune and metabolic pathways to a fundamental mechanism of vascular inflammation. She will also work toward identifying therapies to combat excessive inflammatory response in vascular dysfunction and injury.
