Dr Qing Liu did his undergraduate studies in Hebei Agricultural University in Changli, China between 1980 and 1984. He also obtained his Masters’ degree in Agricultural Sciences in the Waite Agricultural Research Institute, University of Adelaide in 1992 and PhD in the University of Sydney in Australia in 1997. Since his graduation with PhD, Qing has been working in CSIRO as a research scientist in the area of metabolic engineering and genetic modification on plant lipids. He has worked with a wide range of plants and research projects, including the development of nutritionally and functionally improved cottonseed oil with high level of oleic acid and low level of nutritionally undesirable fatty acids, rice bran oil with improved oxidative stability and longer shelf life, developments of canola oil rich in omega-3 long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids, development of safflower oil with high purity of oleic acid for industrial applications and the development of oil-rich high biomass plants. Qing is now a principal research scientist and a team leader in CSIRO Agriculture & Food in the research group of Plant Metabolic Engineering. He is interested in studying the biochemical and molecular mechanisms of lipid accumulation and metabolism in both seed and non-seed high biomass plant organs.
