PhD student

University of Science and Technology of China

Mengqing Liu studies microorganisms with high uric acid degradation capacity isolated from fermented foods. Her research examines uric acid metabolism and potential interventions for hyperuricemia-related metabolic diseases, including gout and chronic kidney disease, to provide microbial resources and a theoretical basis for prevention and control.

Research interests

Uric acid-degrading microorganisms in hyperuricemia

This research explores how microorganisms degrade uric acid and influence the intestinal barrier, purine metabolism and inflammation. Their systemic mechanisms remain to be clarified.
