Research Summary

Dr. Li has long been committed to the study of the molecular mechanism of the occurrence and development of chronic airway inflammatory disease and lung cancer. In airway inflammatory disease related researches, she with her team focuses on the development, novel function and cell fate of eosinophils in pulmonary inflammation, and biomarkers in the pathogenesis of COPD. 

Besides, she and colleagues explore the molecular mechanisms of both tumor pathogenesis and drug resistant in lung cancer from clinical discoveries.
