Andy LiWang

Andy LiWang is a Professor in the Department of Chemistry and Biochemistry at the University of California, Merced, where he researches circadian clock mechanisms in cyanobacteria using NMR and fluorescence techniques. His lab focuses on structural, biochemical, and thermodynamic aspects of circadian rhythms.

Education:

• B.A. in Biology, University of California, Berkeley (1987)
• Ph.D. in Biochemistry, University of Washington (1992)

Research Interests: His work explores whole-clock reconstitution, real-time NMR spectroscopy, and circadian control of gene expression in cyanobacteria. Key methodologies include atomic-resolution structural analysis and correlation of rhythmic biochemical pathways.

Awards:

• American Cancer Society Postdoctoral Fellowship (1993-1996)
