Siyu Liu is a Research Fellow at the MRC Molecular Haematology Unit, University of Oxford. Her work focuses on understanding the molecular mechanisms underlying α-thalassaemia, specifically the regulation and potential reactivation of the embryonic ζ-globin gene to mitigate severe symptoms like Hb Barts’ Hydrops Fetalis Syndrome.
With a DPhil (Doctor of Philosophy), her research intersects gene regulation, haemoglobinopathy, and genetic disorders, aiming to uncover how adjacent enhancers influence gene silencing in adult erythroblasts despite proximity to active regions. This has broader implications for therapeutic strategies in inherited blood diseases.
Her studies are supported by the MRC Translational Immune Discovery Unit and Centre for Computational Biology, though no specific grants or awards are documented in the provided text. Siyu Liu’s contributions highlight the importance of epigenetic and enhancer dynamics in haematological research.
