Shelley H. Liu is an Assistant Professor in the Center for Biostatistics, Department of Population Health Science and Policy. Dr. Liu’s primary research interests are in longitudinal data analysis, Bayesian analysis, latent class analysis, environmental epidemiology and children’s health. Dr. Liu received her BA from Northwestern University in 2011, and her PhD in Biostatistics from Harvard University in 2016. During her doctoral training, she developed statistical methods for environmental health research. These projects included developing methods for estimating the health effects associated with exposure mixtures, and identifying critical time windows of vulnerability to exposures. For her dissertation research, she received a Distinguished Student Paper Award from the International Biometric Society - Eastern North America Region. She also received two National Science Foundation EAPSI awards to conduct research in Australia and China. Through these awards, she developed computationally efficient methods to analyze large longitudinal cohort data.

Physicians and scientists on the faculty of the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai often interact with pharmaceutical, device and biotechnology companies to improve patient care, develop new therapies and achieve scientific breakthroughs. In order to promote an ethical and transparent environment for conducting research, providing clinical care and teaching, Mount Sinai requires that salaried faculty inform the School of their relationships with such companies.
Dr.Liu did not report having any of the following types of financial relationships with industry during 2017 and/or 2018: consulting, scientific advisory board, industry-sponsored lectures, service on Board of Directors, participation on industry-sponsored committees, equity ownership valued at greater than 5% of a publicly traded company or any value in a privately held company.

Patients may wish to ask their physician about the activities they perform for companies.
Physicians who provide services at hospitals and facilities in the Mount Sinai Health System might not participate in the same health plans as those Mount Sinai hospitals and facilities (even if the physicians are employed or contracted by those hospitals or facilities).
Information regarding insurance participation and billing by this physician may be found on this page, and can also be obtained by contacting this provider directly. Because physicians insurance participation can change, the insurance information on this page may not always be up-to-date. Please contact this physician directly to obtain the most up-to-date insurance information.
Insurance and health plan networks that the various Mount Sinai Health System hospitals and facilities participate in can be found on the Mount Sinai Health System website.
