معرفی
Yan Liu serves as Associate Professor in the Department of Chemical Biology at Xiamen University's School of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering since 2007, maintaining active research in organic phosphorus chemistry and bio-organic mass spectrometry. Her academic journey spans Zhengzhou University for undergraduate and master's studies (with Tsinghua University joint training), culminating in a PhD from Xiamen University.
Her educational background includes:
- Bachelor of Science, Department of Chemistry, Zhengzhou University (1995-1999)
- Master of Science, Zhengzhou University Department of Chemistry (Tsinghua University joint training) (1999-2002)
- PhD, Department of Chemistry, College of Chemistry and Chemical Engineering, Xiamen University (2002-2005)
Dr. Liu's research focuses on three interconnected domains:
- Organic Phosphorus Chemistry: Developing novel phosphorus reagents for carbohydrate oligomerization and synthesizing alkynylphosphorus compounds
- Bio-organic Mass Spectrometry: Creating advanced MALDI/ESI-MS methods for oligosaccharide and phosphopeptide analysis
- Biomolecular Interactions: Investigating evolutionary relationships in peptide/protease systems and small molecule-macromolecule binding
Analysis of her 2014-2018 publications reveals consistent emphasis on mass spectrometry applications for carbohydrate chemistry (particularly disaccharide isomer differentiation), prebiotic peptide formation, and phosphorus-based synthesis. Her work demonstrates strong methodological innovation in derivatization techniques and statistical analysis of biomolecular interactions, primarily through collaboration with Prof. Yufen Zhao's research group.
Dr. Liu maintains active supervision of graduate researchers as evidenced by her publication record, though specific student names aren't listed. Her laboratory work involves NMR, MALDI-MS, and ESI-MS instrumentation for metabolomic studies and biomolecular interaction analysis within Xiamen University's chemistry infrastructure.
