Overview

Jenny (Le) Liu assists the Electrical & Computer Technologies and Biotechnology Practices in patent prosecution. She has scientific experience in the areas of AI-driven drug discovery, computational imaging, molecular and cell biology, functional genomics, and plant and animal science.

Prior to joining Wolf Greenfield, Jenny was a postdoctoral associate at the Broad Institute of MIT and Harvard, where she led the development of AI models and computational pipelines aimed at accelerating drug discovery and expanding access to computational tools for biological researchers. Her projects included developing AI models for label-free identification of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, building scalable image analysis pipelines for high-throughput biological discovery, and collaborating with researchers at the University of Toronto on generative AI models for drug perturbation prediction.

Jenny earned her PhD in biology from the University of Massachusetts Amherst, where her research investigated the physiological and genetic mechanisms underlying crop resistance to environmental stressors including drought and heat. During her undergraduate studies, she conducted research involving animal models and green algae.
