The University of Pittsburgh is deeply saddened by the tragic death of Bing Liu, a prolific researcher and admired colleague at Pitt. We extend our deepest sympathies to Liu’s family, friends and colleagues during this difficult time.
Members of our School of Medicine describe their former colleague as an outstanding researcher and mentor, and they have pledged to complete Liu’s research “in an effort to pay homage to his scientific excellence." Please see this statement from his colleagues at the Department of Computational and Systems Biology for more about Dr. Liu’s contributions to the field.
