刘正飞博士

Dr. Liu is a professor at the Huazhong Agricultural University and researcher in the State Key Laboratory of Agricultural Microbiology, mainly engaged in teaching, research, and technology development in virology and zoonotic disease. He received his Ph.D. in molecular breeding for disease resistance at the Huazhong Agricultural University in 2002. He did postdoctoral training in College of Veterinary Medicine at Kansas State University from October 2004 to April 2007. Dr. Liu's research interests are: neurotropic and incubate infection of animal α herpes virus (swine pseudorabies virus and bovine rhinotracheitis virus) and intracellular parasitism of Brucella. His interests in the swine pseudorabies virus include: (1) host cell interactions; (2) non-coding genes and their functions; (3) new vaccines and diagnostic methods. Dr. Liu successfully developed two genetically engineered vaccines, receiving two safety certificates for transgenic vaccine, one certificate for new veterinary medicine registration, and three patents. He has published more than thirty research papers in the Journal of Virology and other national and international magazines. He received the First Prize of Hubei Province Science and Technology Progress Award. At present, he leads one project funded by the National Science Foundation and one funded by National 973 Program.
