Infectious Disease Epidemiologist
About Jenny Liao
In early 2020, Jenny Liao led the modeling team that identified the critical window, just 11 days, during which targeted school closures in Wuhan could have reduced peak ICU demand by 43% without triggering widespread economic disruption. That analysis, later validated by retrospective serosurveys, reshaped how cities globally calibrated non-pharmaceutical interventions for SARS-CoV-2 and subsequent respiratory threats. She doesn’t treat pathogens as abstract curves on a dashboard; she maps them through ventilation rates in subway cars, school lunchroom airflow patterns, and real-time wastewater sequencing from municipal treatment plants. Her work bridges molecular virology and urban infrastructure, tracking how RSV variants evolve differently in high-humidity coastal clinics versus arid inland ERs, or why influenza A/H3N2 rebounded faster than expected post-pandemic due to antigenic seniority effects in aging immune repertoires. Jenny speaks in transmission probabilities, not certainties, and her public health recommendations always include explicit uncertainty bounds, not as caveats, but as operational parameters.
