Xiaoran Roger Liu is a scientist at Bristol Myers Squibb. At BMS, he is responsible for supporting mass spectrometry capabilities in support of bioprocess development and analytical strategies for protein characterization, release and stability, and impurity profiling. Dr. Liu earned his PhD with Dr. Michael L. Gross from Washington University in St. Louis (Missouri, U.S.), focusing on the characterization of protein higher order structures through developing and applying novel mass spectrometry-based approaches, most notably: fast photochemical oxidation of proteins, hydrogen deuterium exchange, footprinting by targeted reagents, and native spray. Prior to his PhD study, he received his BE in Applied Chemistry from East China University of Science and Technology (Shanghai, China) and MS in Polymer Science from the College of Polymer Science and Polymer Engineering, The University of Akron (Ohio, U.S.). He has authored and coauthored over 12 publications, delivered oral and poster presentations for various conferences, and served as a peer reviewer for many journals. His scientific contributions and community engagements have been recognized with numerous awards, most recently the Lake Louise Marg Northcott Award by Canadian Society for Mass Spectrometry.
