Overview

Jenny (Le) Liu assists the Electrical & Computer Technologies and Biotechnology Practices in patent prosecution. She has scientific and technical expertise in artificial intelligence, machine learning, computational imaging, computer vision, image analysis, and bioinformatics, with experience developing scalable computational tools for large-scale image and biological datasets.

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 end-to-end computational pipelines for image analysis and drug discovery. Her work included developing machine learning models for label-free identification of multidrug-resistant bacterial strains, designing 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. Her expertise spans the complete image analysis workflow, including image preprocessing, noise reduction, feature extraction, segmentation, quantitative image analysis, and machine learning using both classical and deep learning approaches.

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.
