Dr. Liying Ren | Molecular Biology | Best Researcher Award

Liying Ren | Peking University |China

Ren Liying is a medical researcher in hepatology and oncology, currently pursuing her Ph.D. in Internal Medicine at the Peking University Hepatology Institute, Peking University People’s Hospital, under the mentorship of Professor Chen Hongsong. She earned her Bachelor’s degree in Clinical Medicine from Hubei University of Science and Technology and her Master’s degree from Guilin Medical University under Professor Liao Weijia, before advancing to doctoral studies. Her research focuses on hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), with an emphasis on integrating molecular biology, imaging, and clinical practice to improve patient outcomes. Ren has authored and co-authored several impactful publications in respected journals, including Cancers, Journal of Hepatocellular Carcinoma, BMC Cancer, World Journal of Gastroenterology, and Cancer Medicine. As first author, her study in Cancers identified the tumor-suppressive role of hemopexin in HCC via TNF-α–mediated mitochondrial apoptosis, while her review explored radiomics and radiogenomics as tools to bridge imaging and molecular characterization in liver cancer. She has also contributed to predictive models and radiomics-based approaches for recurrence and prognosis stratification after surgical resection of HCC. With a strong clinical foundation and commitment to translational research, Ren represents a new generation of physician-scientists advancing precision medicine in liver disease and cancer.
