Wen Liu, Ph.D.
Assistant Research Scientist
Ph.D. from Shandong University, China (1998)
B.S. from Shandong University, China (1993)
I joined the Institute of Biosciences and Technology, Texas A&M Health Science Center in January 2015. I have experience working on various soluble and membrane proteins. I have years of experience and expertise in the protein biochemistry field, especially in molecular cloning, site-directed mutagenesis, protein expression in bacteria, insect cells and yeast, and protein purification and characterization.

Ph.D. in Chemistry, Texas A&M University (2015)
B.S. in Chemistry, Shandong University (2010)
I use native MS and IM-MS to investigate the binding thermodynamics of soluble/membrane protein or protein complexes and their interactions with ligands, lipids and other small molecules.

Graduate Student
B.S. in Cell and Molecular Biology, University of Texas Austin, Texas (2011)
I use native ion mobility mass spectrometry to probe the structure and function of membrane proteins. I am particularly interested in how lipids influence ion channel gating and binding to ligands, such as drugs and toxins.
