研究方向:
Dr. Li graduated from Nankai University with B.S. and M.S. degrees, then obtained his Ph.D. degree in Biochemistry in 2011 in Vincenzo Pirrotta lab at Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, working on Polycomb mediated long-distance chromatin interactions in Drosophila. He continued his postdoc training with Dr. Richard Flavell at Yale University School of Medicine since 2012, working on regulatory RNAs and RNA epigenetics in mouse T cells. From 2017, he started his own independent research group in Shanghai Immunology Institute of Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine.
The research in Li laboratory focuses on the epigeneticswitches of the immune system. We are especially interested in the physiological functions and molecular mechanisms of RNA epigenetic modifications, long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs), and related RNA binding proteins in immune cells and various mouse immune disease models. Combined with the state-of-the-art technologiesand internationalcollaboration, we aim to reveal novelmechanisms of inflammation and autoimmune disease, which will contribute to the identification of potential targets for drug development.
