​Tie Liu did his graduate study in both Peking University and Yale University with Dr. Timothy Nelson and Dr. Xing-Wang Deng concentrated on the entire genome of rice cell-type specific transcriptional regulation using Laser Capture Microdissection (LCM). He started his postdoctoral research on stomata development in the lab of Dr. Dominique Bergmann at Stanford University. While there, he conceived comparative genetic and cell imaging approaches to discover stomatal genes functions 
in rice and maize. He continued his research in the lab of Dr. Kathryn Barton at Stanford to study the transcriptional regulatory networks on plant meristem and leaf development.
His lab is focused on understanding the mechanisms that plants integrate developmental pathways and abiotic stress pathways in model and horticultural plants. His lab is also characterizing the genes and gene regulatory networks that are involved in postharvest senescence and deterioration using quantitative genetic, genomics, phenomics, and genome-editing approaches.
