Dr. Liu’s academic background started with a medical degree from Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology, in 1987. She then pursued a master’s in medicine at the Molecular Medicine Center/Tumor Research Institute of Tongji Hospital, focusing on tumor molecular biology and cell cycle regulation, which she completed in 2005.
She received her PhD in pediatric hematology/oncology in 2008 from the University of Heidelberg, Germany, with a focus on the role of the Notch1 gene in T-lymphocytic leukemia. Her global exposure has also involved serving as a visiting scholar at the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health and conducting research on anemia-associated diseases.
Dr. Liu has led the field of hematology-oncology throughout her career, especially in the use of immunotherapies like CAR-T cell therapy. Her research has greatly helped in understanding and treating relapsed/refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (B-ALL), including studies on how well humanized CD19-CAR-T cells work. In addition, she has been a principal investigator for several National Natural Science Foundation projects and has written extensively for national and international publications.
Her devotion to patient service and research contribution has made Dr. Liu an eminent expert in hematology and oncology within China and also globally.

Research & Publications
Dr. Shuangyou Liu is a leading hematologist at Beijing GoBroad Boren Hospital, renowned for her pioneering research in chimeric antigen receptor T-cell (CAR-T) therapies for hematologic malignancies. Her work has significantly advanced the treatment landscape for relapsed or refractory B-cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (r/r B-ALL).
One of Dr. Liu’s notable contributions is her involvement in the development and clinical evaluation of Inaticabtagene Autoleucel (Inati-cel; CNCT19), a novel CD19-directed CAR-T therapy. In a phase 2, multicenter study, Inati-cel demonstrated a 3-month overall remission rate of 70.8% among adult patients with r/r B-ALL, leading to its approval as the first CAR-T therapy for this patient population in China.
Dr. Liu has also looked into using combination CAR-T therapies that target both CD19 and CD22 antigens to prevent the loss of these targets and make remission last longer. Her research indicates that dual-targeted CAR-T cell therapy can be effective in inducing remission in patients who have relapsed after allogeneic transplantation.
In addition to clinical trials, Dr. Liu has investigated the use of humanized CD19 CAR-T cells in patients who relapsed after murine CD19 CAR-T therapy, contributing to the understanding of treatment resistance mechanisms.
Her extensive publication record includes studies on the efficacy and safety of CAR-T therapies, biomarkers for predicting treatment outcomes, and strategies to mitigate adverse events such as cytokine release syndrome. Dr. Liu’s research has been published in prestigious journals, reflecting her commitment to advancing hematologic oncology.
Through her innovative research and clinical expertise, Dr. Shuangyou Liu continues to shape the future of CAR-T cell therapy, offering new hope to patients with challenging hematologic cancers.
