Biography

Dr. Jing Liu is a Lecturer at the Department of Cell Biology and Neurobiology, Xuzhou Medical University. She received her PhD in Human Anatomy, Histology and Embryology from Fudan University in 2018. Her research focuses on neural circuit mechanisms underlying neuropathic pain and analgesic effects of general anesthesia, as well as neuroprotective mechanisms of traditional Chinese medicine-derived compounds in Parkinson’s disease. Dr. Liu has participated in projects funded by the National Natural Science Foundation of China (NSFC) and has served as the principal investigator of projects supported by the China Postdoctoral Science Foundation and the Jiangsu Provincial Health Commission. She has published SCI-indexed research articles in peer-reviewed international journals and supervised undergraduate research projects.
