个人简介

Dr. Li joined the faculty of the School of Life Sciences and Technology in 2012. Li received her Ph.D. degree in Biophysics from Huazhong University of Science and Technology. Prior to joining Tongji University, Li completed her post-doctoral training at the University of Michigan, where she was awarded the American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship. The Li lab combines the genetic model organism C.elegans and mammalian system to study the mechanisms of mechanosensation and pain, and uses a multidisciplinary approach of molecular genetics, functional imaging, electrophysiology, optogenetics and behavioral analysis. 获奖情况 美国心脏学会American Heart Association Postdoctoral Fellowship
