Biography & Research: 

Dr. Liu received his PhD in Physiological Sciences from the University of California, Los Angeles in 1990. He completed post-doctoral scientific training at Stanford University and then went on to a faculty position at Picower Institute of Learning and Memory at Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he remained until 2005. Liu continued a vigorous scientific research program at Tsinghua University. He found and oversee – as CEO – the multiple clinical development programs of Neurocentria. Dr. Liu is a world renowned expert in synaptic physiology, learning, memory, and emotional control. Dr. Liu’s research focuses primarily on discovering principles that regulate synapse density in the brain under physiological and pathological conditions. His discoveries underlie novel strategies for designing molecular targets that treat neurodegeneration and preventing brain atrophy. Dr. Liu speaks nationally and internationally on his research and has received several awards for scientific excellence
