Haiying Liu

Haiying Liu is a Professor of Chemistry at Michigan Technological University specializing in fluorescence-based biomedical sensors. Her laboratory develops water-soluble conjugated polymers, glycodendrimers, and near-infrared probes for real-time monitoring of biological processes including mitochondrial pH, NAD(P)H dynamics, and disease biomarkers.

Liu's innovations enable high-sensitivity detection in live cells, Drosophila models, and human tissues. Research applications span cancer imaging, liver injury assessment, and metabolic analysis. She holds a PhD from Fudan University and conducted postdoctoral research at University of Pittsburgh and University of Miami.
