Kang-Ling Liao utilizes interdisciplinary approaches, combining mathematical modeling, computation, and biological experiments, to address complex questions in cellular signaling and dynamics. Her diverse research portfolio includes the study of somitogenesis in zebrafish using delay differential equations, and the investigation of G protein signaling pathways in plant cells. Additionally, she applies partial differential equations to clarify mechanisms in cancer immunotherapy and explores evolutionary dynamics in ecology through patch models. By integrating theoretical analysis with wet-lab experimental techniques, she effectively bridges the gap between mathematics and biology to uncover fundamental biological mechanisms.
