Molecular Biology & Genetics

Cornell Research

The research of Jun Liu, professor of molecular biology and genetics, is featured in this Cornell Research website story.

Liu studies the bone morphogenetic protein (BMP) signaling pathway, which plays critical roles in multiple developmental and homeostatic processes. Malfunction of this pathway can cause various disorders, including cardiovascular diseases and cancer.
