Liang GE

Liang GE is an Associate Professor in the School of Life Sciences at Tsinghua University. He holds a Ph.D. from the Institute of Biochemistry and Cell Biology, SIBS, CAS, and completed postdoctoral training at the University of California, Berkeley. His research focuses on cellular mechanisms that maintain homeostasis under stress, including autophagy, unconventional secretion, and organelle interactions. He employs advanced techniques in cell biology, biochemistry, and computational methods to investigate these processes and their implications in human disease. Liang has published extensively in top-tier journals such as Cell and eLife, with several works highlighted by leading researchers in the field.

Liang Ge is a researcher at Tsinghua University with a focus on autophagy, vesicular transport, and secretion. Their work explores the molecular mechanisms underlying autophagy, particularly the role of the ER–Golgi intermediate compartment in autophagosome biogenesis. Liang's research also investigates unconventional protein secretion and the regulation of cholesterol metabolism through vesicle-mediated pathways. They have contributed to understanding the function of proteins such as NPC1L1 and the role of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase in LC3 lipidation. Their studies highlight the interplay between membrane trafficking and cellular homeostasis, with implications for diseases related to lipid metabolism and autophagy dysfunction.
