The research of Dr. Cong Liu focuses on protein phase separation and pathological aggregation in neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) with systematical achievements during his independent research career since 2013. In brief, by combining cutting-edge chemical and biological approaches, Dr. Liu revealed the structural basis of protein pathological aggregation in NDs; demonstrated the regulation mechanism of protein aggregation by disease-related chemical modification; explained at the atomic level how small molecules bind to pathological amyloid fibril; developed new strategies of small molecules modulating protein phase separation for therapeutic application.

Over the past 5 years, Dr. Liu totally published over 80 SCI papers（H-index: 55, google citation: ~12000. As the corresponding or co-corresponding author, he published over 50 papers, including Cell, Science, PNAS, Nat Struct & Mol Biol.
