Ninning Liu is a staff scientist in the Molecular Robotics Initiative where his focus is on engineering DNA based tools for spatial-omics, biosensing, and high-throughput barcoding. His current interests include working at the interface between imaging and sequencing technologies, applied ML, and exploring application areas of translational technologies at the Wyss.
Ninning received his Ph.D. at Berkeley in Molecular and Cellular Biology for single-molecule characterization of DNA molecular motors. As a postdoctoral fellow in Peng Yin’s group, he developed a nanoscale labeling strategy with light and was a co-inventor of Light-Seq, a light-directed spatial-omic technology platform.
