Na Liu

Na Liu is an Associate Research Scientist in the Department of Cell Biology at Yale School of Medicine. Their research focuses on reproductive biology, fertility, and assisted reproductive technologies (ART), with an emphasis on endometrial receptivity, embryo transfer optimization, and genetic factors influencing fertility outcomes. Dr. Liu holds a PhD from Dalian University of Science and Technology (2007).

Key research interests include analyzing clinical risk factors for ectopic pregnancy, improving IVF success rates through personalized embryo transfer timing (rsERT), and identifying genetic variants affecting sperm morphology and fertility. Recent studies explore biomarkers in uterine fluid transcriptomics for non-invasive endometrial receptivity prediction.

Publications highlight contributions to understanding insulin resistance’s role in late miscarriage, GnRH agonist pretreatment strategies, and the association between endometrial thickness and ectopic pregnancy risks. Research integrates clinical data analysis with genetic/molecular approaches to advance fertility treatment protocols.

Liu collaborates on interdisciplinary teams addressing translational challenges in reproductive medicine, leveraging large-scale clinical datasets (e.g., 5,960 cycles analysis) to refine treatment guidelines. Current work aims to bridge molecular discoveries with actionable clinical tools for fertility care.
