Join the Liu Lab
Help build a new framework for disease biology. We welcome curious, ambitious scientists who want to understand how local disease reshapes the whole organism—and discover the mechanisms that matter most for human health.
Please send a CV and a brief statement describing your research experience, scientific interests, and why you would like to join the Liu Lab to Ying Liu.

CSHL–Northwell Health Affiliation


Supported jointly by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory (CSHL) and Northwell Health, the Liu Lab works at the intersection of fundamental discovery and clinical translation in a uniquely collaborative research environment.
CSHL's NCI-designated Cancer Center brings exceptional strengths in fundamental cancer biology, genetics, and advanced experimental technologies, while Northwell connects discovery science with clinicians, diverse clinical communities, biospecimens, and cancer research. Embedded within this ecosystem, our lab can move bidirectionally between clinical insight and mechanistic discovery—bringing observations from human disease into experimentally tractable systems and translating fundamental discoveries back toward human health.
For trainees and collaborators, this creates opportunities to tackle ambitious questions across biological scales and disciplines, integrating genetics, model organisms, computation, metabolism, and human biology.
