Biography
Dr. Liu joined Cell Press in Boston (US) in April 2021, working closely with editors and authors across a variety of journals to improve the publication journey for researchers. She holds a joint position as an editor with Cell Host & Microbe and a cross journal editor within Cell Press. Dr. Liu received her Ph.D. from Cornell University in 2020, studying the relationships between plants and bacterial pathogens. She extended her interests from plant host-microbe interaction to a commensal fungus and its mammalian host during her time as a postdoc at Brown University before joining Cell Press.
During this seminar Dr. Liu will share insights into what happens to your manuscript after submission, what editors look for in a paper, productive paths towards publication at Cell Press journals, and maybe how to become an editor yourself someday.
