Biography

Dr. LIU Wei earned his Ph.D. from Zhejiang University in 2018 and conducted postdoctoral research at Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine in the United States. In late 2022, he returned to China as a PI at the Jiangsu Key Laboratory of Brain Disease and Bioinformatics at Xuzhou Medical University.

Our research focuses on the role of cellular organelles in neurodevelopment and neurological disorders. In recent years, I have published several papers as the first or co-first author in prestigious journals, including Autophagy, Cell Death & Differentiation, and PLOS Genetics.
