Dr Wenyuan Liu is a Melbourne based dermatologist and dermatologic surgeon. Her clinical expertise lies in the early diagnosis of skin cancers, the optimal management of inflammatory skin conditions, scar minimising surgical techniques, and a natural approach to cosmetic dermatology.
Melanoma research work Dr. Liu completed her undergraduate medical training at the University of Otago, New Zealand. Her early interest in skin cancers led to her PhD work focusing on the clinical, pathological and molecular features of biologically aggressive primary melanomas. She worked under the supervision of Professor John Kelly (Victorian Melanoma Service) and Professor Grant McArthur (Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre) and completed her PhD through the University of Melbourne in 2005. Dr. Liu was one of the first investigators to work on BRAF mutation in primary melanomas (which is now a major therapeutic target), and the first to investigate rate of growth in melanomas. She also established one of the first databases correlating the clinical and molecular features of melanoma, which subsequently led to the conception of the Melbourne Melanoma Project. Dr Liu is well-known in the area of melanoma research, having published and presented widely in the field. She has appeared as a guest speaker at numerous national and international skin cancer conferences, and acted as an invited reviewer for prestigious journals such as Archives of Dermatology and Melanoma Research.
Training Beyond her melanoma work, Dr Liu is a well-rounded dermatologist who has trained with the leaders in the field, obtaining fellowship of the Australasian College of Dermatologists (FACD) in 2010. She has worked at most major hospitals in Melbourne including The Alfred, St Vincent’s Hospital, Monash Medical Centre, Box Hill Hospital, the Skin Cancer Foundation. She was also privileged to work at St George’s Hospital in London in 2007.
Awards Dr Liu was the recipient of the Schering Plough Award from the Australasian College of Dermatologists and has also received various additional scholarships from the ACD, the Ian Potter Foundation, the Peter MacCallum Cancer Centre and the University of Melbourne. Public hospital appointments Dr. Liu is an appointed consultant dermatologist at the Victorian Melanoma Service, The Alfred, and at the Monash Medical Centre. In her pubic hospital roles, she is dedicated to both the clinical care of patients and supervision of dermatology trainees.
