Cell Science and Regenerative Medicine

Jean Mercier Ythier is professor of economics at the University Paris-Panthéon-Assas, France. He graduated from the Institute of Political Studies of Paris (PhD, 1989). He was also a graduate student at Harvard University (1986-87). He went notably through positions of invited research fellow at the University of Montréal (Québec, Canada), assistant professor and associate professor of economics at the University of Paris Panthéon-Sorbonne and professor of economics at the University of Lorraine (France). Prof. Jean Mercier Ythier's research interests include the theory of general competitive equilibrium, microeconomic theory, public economic theory, economic philosophy, altruism, ethics, and topics of economic anthropology.

Dr. Liu earned his doctoral degree in Biology from the University of California, Los Angeles (UCLA), followed by postdoctoral training in molecular parasitology at the University of Amsterdam and the Netherlands Cancer Institute. After gaining experience in the biotechnology industry in California, he joined the faculty of the Department of Urology and the Institute for Stem Cell and Regenerative Medicine at the University of Washington, Seattle. His research focuses on early cancer detection, cell biology, tissue development, oncogenesis, metastasis, and therapeutic strategies for various cancers, with a particular emphasis on prostate cancer. Dr. Liu has made significant contributions to stem cell biology and cancer research, including studies on stromal cell signaling, cancer stem cells, and regenerative approaches. His recent publications include work in BMC Cancer (2021), Frontiers in Oncology (2024), and Regenerative Medicine Reports (2025). His ongoing research continues to explore regenerative strategies and cancer stem cell biology.
