Dr. Li received Ph.D. from Cancer Hospital and Institute, Chinese Academy of Medical Sciences, Beijing, China and has worked in the field of kidney disease for almost 10 years and published several papers in different journals as first author or co-responding author. She has strong background and expertise and experiences in am working on elucidating the molecular mechanisms and pathogenesis of Polycystic Kidney Disease (PKD) and has worked in Prof. Guanqing Wu’s Lab in Division of Translational Cancer Research and Therapy, State Key Laboratory of Molecular Oncology of Cancer Institute. Her research focused on the application of molecular technology and well-extended genetic knowledge to unravel the pathogenesis and molecular mechanism of human genetic-related diseases. She have strong background and experiences in elucidating the molecular mechanisms and pathogenesis of human genetic disease: autosomal dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic disease (ARPKD).

My research focused on the application of molecular technology and well-extended genetic knowledge to unravel the pathogenesis and molecular mechanism of human genetic-related diseases. With strong background and experiences, I have elucidate the molecular mechanisms and pathogenesis of human genetic disease: autosomal dominant polycystic disease (ADPKD) and autosomal recessive polycystic disease (ARPKD). I am also engaged in the application of translational medicine to treat PKD based on my PKD research.
