Xiaozheng Liu joined the Halberg lab as a master student in 2016 and started her PhD project in 2017.
Her project employs system biology methods to understand at a molecular level the malignant cellular phenotypes that characterize cancer cells selected by an obese environment and how these promote cancer progression in obese breast cancer patients.​

My interest lies in the area of cancer development and metastasis. From epidimiological data follows that obese cancer patients have worse prognosis, compared to patients with normal weight. I want to identify molecular drivers of this agressive phenotype of obesity-related cancers. To do so, I perform functional screening using CRISPR-Cas9 technology in obese models. In the future, I hope this work will lead to the improvement of the treatment of obese cancer patients.
