Biography:

Dr. Ming Liu's research mainly focuses on oysters' genomics and breeding: 1) identifying associations between oyster genomic characteristics and oyster traits beneficial to the growing aquaculture industry, and 2) developing genomic tools and approaches to improve the survival and growth of oysters. He is also interested in population genetics, phylogenetics, and evolution of marine fish and shellfishes.
