Dr Bo Liu

Postdoctoral Researcher

Adelaide Medical School

Faculty of Health and Medical Sciences

Eligible to supervise Masters and PhD (as Co-Supervisor) - email supervisor to discuss availability.

Dr Bo Liu is an early career researcher, working with Associate Professor Leonie Heilbronn in the Obesity and Metabolism group based within the Lifelong Health Theme at the South Australian Health and Medical Research Institute (SAHMRI).

His research focuses on the understanding of the cellular mechanisms underpinning the improved metabolic health by dietary interventions such as caloric restriction, intermittent fasting, and time-restricted feeding in mice and humans. He is particularly interested in adipose tissue and skeletal muscle remodelling following dietary modifications.
