Judy Liu is an Associate Professor in the Department of Ophthalmology and Visual Science and the Department of Neurology at Brown University. She obtained her M.D. and Ph.D. from the Albert Einstein College of Medicine where her dissertation work focused on inflammation in the brain. She completed her residency in neurology at Harvard's Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and served as chief resident. Dr. Liu specializes in pediatric epilepsy research, addressing how brain malformations affect cognitive and developmental outcomes. She leads studies on genetic disorders related to epilepsy, as well as the underlying mechanisms of neuronal and transcriptional dysfunctions that lead to altered neurological conditions. Her research encompasses transcriptional mechanisms, neural metabolism, and neuronal morphology, with a goal of developing new treatment strategies for refractory epilepsies. Dr. Liu has published works on the intersections of genetics and epilepsy and is actively involved in collaborative studies aimed at understanding and mitigating these conditions in pediatric populations.
