Emily H. Liu

Emily Liu is a Research Scientist Investigator at Kaiser Permanente, where she focuses on epidemiological studies related to maternal health, particularly gestational diabetes. She holds a Master of Public Health (MPH) and is currently pursuing a PhD in epidemiology at the University of California, Berkeley. Liu has contributed significantly to research examining the impact of neighborhood deprivation on the risk of gestational diabetes, highlighting that pregnant patients in economically deprived areas are more likely to develop this condition, regardless of their racial or ethnic background.12

In her recent study published in Obstetrics & Gynecology, Liu and her colleagues analyzed data from over 214,000 pregnancies and found that the prevalence of gestational diabetes increased with neighborhood deprivation. This research emphasizes the importance of social determinants of health in understanding health outcomes for mothers and their children.12

Liu is also active on LinkedIn, where she shares insights about her work and connects with other professionals in the field.4 Her research interests align with broader public health goals aimed at improving maternal and child health outcomes through evidence-based strategies.35
