Gang-yu Liu

Gang-yu Liu is Professor of Chemistry at UC Davis, specializing in nanotechnology and bioanalytical chemistry. Her lab develops AFM-based methods for high-resolution imaging of biomolecules and single-cell mechanics. Research themes include nanostructure engineering for controlling biorecognition, 3D nanoprinting, and investigating nanoparticle-cell interactions.

Honors include:

• ACS Fellow (2010)
• AAAS Fellow (2007)
• Faculty Fellows Award for Interdisciplinary Research Catalyst (2018)

Recent work enables precise fabrication of lipid architectures and chiral nanostructures via spatial confinement. Applications range from drug delivery systems to nanotoxicity assessment.
