Fang, Shiaofen

Education Details

Research Interests

My primary research interests are in visualization, biomedical imaging, computer graphics, and geometric modeling. My early research focus had been on Volume Visualization and Volume Graphics. Major projects include deformable volume modeling and rendering, hardware assisted voxelization, volume fusion, 3D microscopy visualization, and immersive volume visualzation. A common theme of these research projects is the efficient and effective visaulization of scientific data. Although this line of research is still a major part of my work, My recent research interests have been shifted more towards the direction of medical image analysis and visual data mining. These include 3D image analysis for medical diagnosis, surface analysis of medical scans, 3D surface reconstruction, and knowledge discovery through information visualization.

Dr. Liu joined the faculty in Fall 2011, after conducting research in the IU School of Medicine. She is currently on a joint appointment with the Department of Pharmacology in the IU School of Medicine.

Protein-protein interactions are required for biological functions and altercations in protein-protein interactions can cause diseases such as cancer and diabetes. On the other hand, small compound that interacts with protein can alter, regulate or trigger protein functions. However, how protein recognizes its partners and forms stable complexes are not fully understood. My lab is interested in dissecting the forces of specific interactions between protein and its partners. The assembly of protein complexes is a dynamic process and can be studied computationally by Molecular Dynamics (MD) simulations. Computational observance can be validated experimentally by time-resolved X-Ray Crystallography, Small Angle Scattering, NMR and other techniques. Validated computational method can then be applied to multiple protein systems and bioinformatics approaches can be applied. Our goal is to understand the physics and chemistry that governs the assembly and interactions between protein and its partner. In addition, we are also interested in discovering and developing small molecule drugs that can inhibit or enhance protein functions by in-silico screening.
