Shichao Liu serves as an Adjunct Professor in the Surgery Department with Urology Division specialization, though his research focuses predominantly on fundamental developmental biology using porcine models. Holding both PhD and BS degrees from Northeast Agricultural University, his academic career bridges veterinary science and embryology despite the clinical departmental affiliation.

Dr. Liu's research centers on mammalian embryogenesis, particularly porcine early development and stem cell pluripotency. His work investigates transcription factor networks (CDX2/OCT4/SOX2), epigenetic regulation through non-coding RNAs, and species-specific trophectoderm lineage specification. Key methodologies include transcriptome analysis, gene manipulation in embryos, and cloning technologies, with significant contributions to understanding non-rodent embryonic models.
Analysis of his 15 most recent publications (2014-2021) reveals three dominant research trajectories: (1) Transcriptional regulation of embryonic lineage commitment, (2) Epigenetic mechanisms in intergenerational inheritance via small RNAs, and (3) Technical optimization of porcine embryo culture and cloning. These studies consistently employ pig models to address fundamental questions in developmental biology that have implications for both agricultural biotechnology and comparative embryology.
