PROJECT: Transform safety net health care clinics into anti-poverty gateways through the development of a web app that provides low-income families with easy-to-understand information and digital applications for anti-poverty programs at the federal, state, and local levels.

Patrick Liu (he/him/his) is a Bay Area native and son of Chinese immigrants. He is passionate about advancing health equity through data-driven, people-centered, and action-oriented research and implementation. He is a MD student at the UCLA David Geffen School of Medicine and PhD student with UCLA Medical and Imaging Informatics (MII). His research examines drivers of inequitable access to care; the design of human-centered approaches that reconnect a disconnected social safety net; and cross-sector care models that bridge health care, social care, and community supports to improve life course equity.

Liu earned his MPH in Global Health Metrics at the University of Washington and his BA in Neuroscience and Economics from Pomona College. He was a former fellow with the Institute for Health Metrics and Evaluation.
