His primary research focuses on bioinformatics, computational biology, and artificial intelligence biology. His research primarily revolves around the analysis of industrial Bio-big data, involving the development of core databases, algorithms, and tools. He has established a technological framework for industrial biology-related data, creating a series of exclusive industrial biotechnology databases such as the pUGTdb (Plant UDP-dependent Glycosyltransferase Database), P450 Enzyme Database, and ERMer (E.coli Regulation Miner) among others.
He has developed various web platforms including the automated editing sequence design platform(AutoESD), the Cloud-based platform for Analysis and Visualization of mEtabolic pathway (CAVE), and the next-generation protein enzyme number prediction AI tool (ECRECer). In recent years, he has published over 40 articles in high-impact domestic and international journals such as Nature Genetics, Molecular Plant, Nucleic Acids Research, Science Advances, and Research, accumulating nearly 2000 citations and obtaining over 10 software copyrights.
Dr. LIAO is a member of the Youth Innovation Promotion Association of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, holds a distinguished research position at the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and was selected into the fourth “Ke Yuan Ming Jiang” team at the Chinese Academy of Sciences. He has led multiple national and provincial-level fund projects, serves as a young editor for 'iMeta' and 'Engineering Microbiology,' and is a committee member and deputy secretary-general of CSIAM Activity Group on Mathematical Life Science.
