  • Long COVID: Understanding Long COVID (LC) in Frontline and Essential Workers (FEWs) through Proteomic Profiling: A Longitudinal Cohort Study

    • Led analytical team and developed statistical pipeline for proteomics analysis in AZHEROES
    • Processed and analyzed proteomics data from 130+ frontline and essential workers with COVID-19 infection to identify biomarkers associated with Long COVID
    • Applied bioinformatics techniques to map 20+ significant biological pathways
    • Lead author for a manuscript currently under internal review (Liu et al., 2026)
  • COVID Breakthrough: Serum Proteomics in Omicron SARS-CoV-2 breakthrough: a nested case-control study within a prospective cohort of frontline workers from eight locations in the United States (US)
    • Assisted in proteomics analysis for 100+ breakthrough cases to identify risk factors for Omicron breakthrough
    • Contributed to a manuscript accepted by PLoS ONE (Liu et al., 2026)
  • PFAS-Proteomics: Associations of Per- and Poly-fluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) and Untargeted Proteomic Profiles in AZ HEROES/RECOVER
    • Assisted in proteomics analysis for 950+ frontline workers
    • Contributed to a manuscript under development (Yang et al., 2026)
