Liang Liang

Liang Liang is Assistant Professor with joint appointments in Obstetrics/Gynecology and Biochemistry at Medical College of Wisconsin. Her research program investigates metabolic dysregulation in pregnancy complications using multi-omics approaches. She holds PhD in Genetics from Stowers Institute and completed postdoctoral training at Stanford University, where she led Gates Foundation-funded projects on preterm birth prediction.

Research develops metabolomic biomarkers for gestational disorders through longitudinal cohort studies. Current projects examine mitochondrial dysfunction in preterm labor, ethnic disparities in vaginal microbiomes, and machine learning models for pregnancy monitoring. Methodological expertise includes LC-MS metabolomics, computational biology, and clinical translation of omics signatures.

Honored with Gates Foundation grant for maternal health innovation, Liang collaborates with UCSF Preterm Birth Initiative. She mentors trainees in experimental and computational approaches to reproductive health challenges.
