Biography

Dr. Liu's research program is dedicated to improving the lives of older adults with kidney disease. Her current research focuses on mobility, specifically the ability to move safely and reliably among older adults, as poor mobility is a strong predictor of future disability and death. Retaining mobility is crucial for older adults and is considered a fundamental quality of life. Older adults suffering from kidney disease, particularly in the late stages of chronic kidney disease or outright kidney failure, often experience difficulties in walking and transferring from chairs. Dually trained in geriatric medicine and epidemiology, Dr. Liu possesses significant expertise in clinical trials for older adults, safety trials for novel agents, and intervention studies aimed at reducing infections in older populations.
