Adeline (Pinyu) Liao is a sophomore studying Computational Biology (Computer Science) and Economics at Stanford University. After losing her grandmother to a bacterial infection in 2019, she developed a deep passion for global health, focusing on antimicrobial resistance through entrepreneurship, policy, and business. She is particularly interested in pharmaceutical financing, venture capital, and private equity in developing markets, aiming to bridge gaps in drug manufacturing and distribution. 

Currently, she is researching health equity, pharmaceutical supply chains, and international markets in sub-Saharan Africa, and has been involved in entrepreneurship and global health investing through the ChEM-H Entrepreneurship Program and the Stanford Healthcare Consulting Group. Her documentary, The Quest to Stop Antibiotic Resistance, was recognized by the World Health Organization. She was a speaker at TEDxStanford 2024, as well as the founder of the blog, Lavender + Lab Coats. 

Beyond biotech finance, she conducts computational biology research at the Bertozzi Lab, and previously conducted microbiology research at the University of Cambridge under Dr. Martin Welch. In her free time, she enjoys hiking, baking, and crafting.
