Liu, Joan - University of Westminster - Department of Biomedical Sciences

个人简介

Dr Joan Liu completed her BSc (Hons) in Biomedical Sciences, and PhD in Anatomy (Neuroscience) at the University of Auckland, New Zealand. She gained a Postgraduate Certificate in Adult Learning and Professional Development from University College London, and she is a Fellow of the Higher Education Academy in UK. Dr Liu has two previous postdoctoral research posts at the UCL Institute of Neurology where she was funded by the European Commission (developing in-vivo imaging biomarkers for the early diagnosis and evaluation of patients' responses to therapeutic medications), and Medical Research Council (investigation of glial and neuronal regenerative mechanisms in epilepsy). Dr Liu’s main research interest is in Epilepsy Neuropathology. Currently, she is investigating the role of newly-generated brain cells in the pathomechanisms of different epilepsy pathologies using surgically-resected and post-mortem epileptic human brain tissue. Dr Liu has over twelve years’ experience of working with human brain tissue, and she has published in peer-reviewed journals such as Brain, and Annals of Neurology, and she has presented in national and international conferences including British Neuropathological Society, Digital Pathology, and European Congress of Neuropathology.
