Liu Lab @ HHMI Janelia
Yin Liu Ph.D.
Group Leader
Yin obtained her PhD in Neuroscience from the Johns Hopkins University, working on neurotrophin signaling and development of the peripheral nervous system in David Ginty's lab. She then joined Mark Krasnow's lab at Stanford Univeristy to study neuronal innervation of the mouse lung. During her postdoc training, she dissected the molecular diversity of pulmonary sensory neurons and revealed distinct functions of pulmonary mechanoreceptors in breathing regulation. In 2022, she started her own group at Janelia research campus.
After work, she is a proud mom and she loves visiting museums and playing legos with her daughter.
