Jason Liang

Jason is a trained biochemist and received his Ph.D. in Chemistry at UC San Diego in the lab of Huilin Zhou at the Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research. There he developed methods utilizing mass spectrometry to study protein sumoylation and its functions in genome maintenance. He then went on to join Genentech in the labs of Donald Kirkpatrick and Shiva Malek as a Postdoctoral fellow, where he employed advanced technologies in quantitative proteomics to study RAF complexes in cancer cells. Jason has a keen interest in using biochemistry and proteomics to understand the mechanisms and regulation of signaling pathways, and is excited at the opportunity to develop and apply these cutting edge technologies to drug discovery. When he is not in the lab, Jason enjoys exploring the outdoors – hiking, snowboarding, and finding new places to share a good meal with his family and friends.
